Generally, IEEE awards serve several purposes:

The awards are an expression of recognition for outstanding contributions to the art and science of electro-technology.   Serve as an incentive to youth to emulate excellence.   Are a personalized presentation to the public of the achievements of the profession and its members.   The awards identify IEEE with these achievements

Thus, Region 2 has established through its Bylaws the Awards and Recognition Committee and commissioned it to assist the Region in recognizing, rewarding, and promoting excellence in all facets of the professional lives of its members. The Region 2 Awards and Recognition Program provides the means to recognize those members or Region entities that have brought improvement and recognition to our profession and to the Institute. By recognizing these accomplishments and contributions, the Program provides positive reinforcement to all members and entities.
