IEEE Region 3 Awards Information
Region 3 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 Awards and Recognition Program is one of the most important of all Region 3 activities. It 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, it provides positive reinforcement to all members and entities to follow suit.
IEEE awards serve several purposes: The awards are 1) an expression of recognition for outstanding contributions to the art and science of electro-technology, 2) an incentive to youth to emulate excellence, 3) a personalized presentation to the public of the achievements of the profession and its members, and 4) the identification of IEEE with these achievements.
