This Award Category is for companies, corporations and organizations, to recognize those that support IEEE technical and professional activities by promoting membership, encouraging participation in meetings and conferences, and/or providing resources and support for local IEEE activities. Multiple awards may be given.
This award maps to the IEEE MGA’s (Member and Geographic Activities) “Friend of IEEE Member and Geographic Activities, Organizational Award”. Our name for this award is Outstanding Corporate Service. MGA’s Criteria for the award are:
- Time off to travel to IEEE meetings
- Full or partial reimbursement of travel and/or per diem
- Offering company space to conduct IEEE meetings
- Encouraging and/or promoting membership in professional organizations
- Underwriting all or a portion of IEEE dues for its members
- Supporting the volunteer by permitting free or discounted use of company resources for such things as telephone, fax, email, or printing newsletters and/or other circulars.
Region 6 adds to this:
- Donating grants or giving money directly to Chapters, Councils, Affinity Groups, or STEM to assist with conducting conferences, workshops, meetings, or educational events and competitions.
We recognize that it is becoming rare to find corporations that meet all of these criteria. We will accept nominations for companies and corporations that do some of these. The more points that are documented, the more likely your nomination will win.
