“Professor Freeman’s service to NAMS and other related societies is outstanding. Benny has provided extensive service to the profession through serving in high-level panels and committees, organizing conferences and symposia, serving as editor for journals, and serving in leadership roles of numerous organizations including NAMS,” said Dr. Dibaker Bhattacharyya, past president of NAMS. “He’s a tremendous asset to our profession.”
"The North American Membrane Society is the only professional society in North America that promotes all aspects of membrane science and technology. This ranges from fundamental studies of membrane material science to process application and development. Dr. Freeman will be recognized at the 2017 International Congress on Membranes and Membrane Processes conference in San Francisco, July 29 through August 4."
The website states, "NAMS Fellows are elected for significant contributions in both service to NAMS and professional accomplishments in the membrane field. The contribution in one of these areas shall be outstanding, with significant contribution in both areas necessary for this award."
