Awards and Recognition

    Nominations for Outstanding Engineer, Outstanding Engineering
Educator, and Outstanding Service were solicited, received, and
distributed to the ARC (Area/Council Chairs) for evaluation. A
Teller's Committee will meet Saturday morning to compile the results,
and make a recommendation to the EXCOM.  Awards will be presented at
the SoutheastCon in April.

	Educational Activities Awards are due in by April 30, 2002. A
complete description of the EAB Awards Program may be found at

	Regional Activities Awards are described at
https://www.ieee.org/organizations/rab/rab/Awards/RABAWARDS.html, and
will be due in the Fall.

    IEEEUSA Awards may be found at
https://www.ieeeusa.org/AWARDS/index.html, and are due on August 1,
2002. I am pleased to announce that our very own Kathy Rinehart,
Canaveral Section, will be receiving an IEEEUSA 2001 Professional
Achievement Award, and Ralph Russell will be receiving a Citation of
Honor.

	ARC has received a proposal to consider the possibility of
establishing an Outstanding Engineer award that has a focus on
software and computer hardware. This will be discussed at the ARC
meeting Saturday morning, as will an overall Outstanding Section
award.
