On Saturday, January 26, 2019 the IEEE Dallas Section hosted their 2018 Volunteer Awards Ceremony.
The ceremony is a time to thank those IEEE Volunteers for their hard works and celebrate each others
accomplishments with fellow IEEE and work colleagues and this year was no exception. On behalf of the
IEEE R5 South Area team, I wanted to say congratulations to all of the evening winners.
