Jensen Award for Career Advancement

 THE JENSEN AWARD is the most prestigious recognition and highest honor of the Florida energy pipeline industry. It was initiated in 2007 by the FEPA Board of Directors. Chris Jensen Sr. and his spouse Audrey Jensen were founding members of the Florida Energy Pipeline Association in 1989. Mr. Jensen served the Florida energy pipeline industry for over forty years, including executive director of the FEPA from its inception until his death in 2003. 

The Jensen Award is conferred annually on an individual whose career includes prominent achievement and outstanding contributions to the Florida energy pipeline industry. Such contributions may include, but is not limited to, technical services, business accomplishment, education, research, or other outstanding leadership that has materially advanced the welfare of the Florida energy pipeline industry. Recipients may include engineers, research scientists, business leaders, educators, journalists, and virtually every other discipline associated with the industry. 

The Award is not necessarily an annual event, but is conferred as deemed appropriate by the FEPA Executive Committee. It is presented during FEPA’s Annual Symposium.
