DELAND, Florida, January 25, 2007 - The CAD Society today announced it is accepting nominations for the 2007 CAD Society Industry Awards.

The CAD Society Awards acknowledge individual contributions within the Computer Aided-Design (CAD) and engineering software industry. CAD and engineering software applications fulfill a multitude of society’s needs in nearly every aspect of manufactured products produced today.

"The three awards the CAD Society presents every year is our way of recognizing those who have contributed to the CAD/CAM industry in various ways," said Marv Muston, president of The CAD Society. "We are looking forward to hearing what the community has to say when they help us select the 2007 nominees."

The CAD Society presents awards in three categories:

"Deke" Smith was the 2006 recipient of the Leadership award. Other past award recipients include: Robert McNeel, Tony Affuso, Tom Butta, Jon Hirschtick, Bernard Charles, and Frank Perna.
Joe Greco Community Award: For outstanding work in improving communication and developing community within the CAD industry. Chris Yessios was the 2006 recipient of the Community award. Other past award recipients include: Lynn Allen, Randall Rath, CJ Shirk, Kristine Fallon, Ralph Grabowski, and Amy Rowell.
Lifetime Award: For a lifetime of outstanding technical and business contributions to the CAD industry. Russell F Henke was the 2006 recipient of the Lifetime award. Other past award recipients include: Ken Versprille, L. Stephen Wolfe, Carl Machover, Dr. Joel Orr, Patrick Hanratty, and Jason Lemon.

The board members of the CAD Society will review all nominations on MARCH 1, 2007 and will determine the award winners for each of the three categories. Nominations should be sent to president@cadsociety.org and will be accepted through FEBRUARY 28, 2007.
