Elder George Hill Receives Engineering Honor

Elder George R. Hill III, a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy and first counselor in the Philippines/Micronesia Area Presidency, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering.

Election to the academy is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer in the United States. Elder Hill is one of ninety-seven engineers who recently received this distinction.

According to Robert M. White, president of the academy, academy membership honors those who have made “important contributions to engineering theory and practice,” or those who have demonstrated “unusual accomplishment in new and developing fields of technology.”

Induction ceremonies will be held 4 October 1989 in Washington, D.C.
