Nominations are due 15 January annually for the IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFA) and the IEEE Eric Herz Outstanding Staff Member Award.

All IEEE members are encouraged to submit a nomination for a worthy candidate within their technical fields.
The IEEE Herz Award recognizes sustained contributions by a present or past full-time staff member of the IEEE with at least ten years of service. This award was created in 2005 by the IEEE Board of Directors, and is named in honor of Eric Herz, who had a long and illustrious career as both a volunteer and staff member of IEEE. Mr. Herz served in a wide variety of volunteer positions from the Sections to the Board of Directors, and also served as the IEEE General Manager and Executive Director and contributed significantly to the growth and reputation of IEEE.
