Nominations are due 31 January annually for the IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFA). IEEE TFAs are awarded for contributions or leadership in a specific field of interest of the IEEE and are among the highest awards presented on behalf of the IEEE Board of Directors.
All IEEE Region 5 members are encouraged to submit a nomination for a worthy candidate within their technical fields. Nomination forms and award-specific criteria can be downloaded from http://www.ieee.org/about/awards/tfas/index_tfas.html
Since 1917, the IEEE Awards Program has paid tribute to technical professionals whose exceptional achievements and outstanding contributions have made a lasting impact on technology, society, the engineering profession, and humanity. By this means, the image and prestige of the organization, its members, and the profession are all enhanced.
