IEEE-USA Awards are due by August 31st. Anyone who has a submission
after today should send it directly to john twitchell and
Sandra.kim@ieee.org and copy merandall@ieee.org. I will be unable to
forward anything after today, but nominations can still be submitted. We
have submitted 8 region 3 members for award consideration so far. Let’s
keep going!

The deadline for RAB Awards is approaching. It is October 15th. Details
were sent to region officers and section chairs today.

The awards history has been updated thanks to Roy’s efforts in
recapturing this history. Thank you Roy and everyone who helped him!

Consideration on how to simply the awards process for submitters,
reviewers, and processors is underway. An initial design is undergoing
some revision at this time.

Please start thinking about Region Awards. That process starts 4th
Quarter. Start now and get the paperwork out of the way early! That will
give ample time to obtain endorsement letters which really help the
reviewers understand the member’s contributions. There must be many
outstanding engineers throughout our region who deserve some
recognition.

Sorry I’ll miss the phone conference, but I’ll be away on IEEE WIE
business. (Au revior!)
 
Best Wishes,
