Nominations are
now open for the IEEE Third Millennium Medal. Not since 1984 has the IEEE given
an Institute wide award to honor a select and special group of members. The
Third Millennium Medal will honor 3,000 outstanding members.
The
Millennium Medal was designed by Gladys Gunzer world renowned sculptor. The
design of the medal includes a world map symbolizing the global nature of the
IEEE and the words "In celebration of the Third Millennium". Each
award is customized with the recipient's name.
The IEEE-Standards
Association has developed criteria for this award to recognize achievements in
standards development and management infrastructure. Below you will find the
Millennium Medal IEEE-SA criteria.
Please submit your nominations to
Dennis Bodson, Chairman IEEE-SA ArCom, via email at d.bodson@ieee.org, no later than September 1,
1999.

Millennium
Medal
IEEE-SA Criteria
Context:
At the beginning of the third millennium give recognition to 3000 individuals
for their professional achievements worthy of recognition for significant impact
leading up to and including the new millennium.
Millennium medals are to
be awarded to those individuals for their outstanding contributions to the
profession and to society in general. The medals are to be awarded by Societies,
Sections, and major boards of which the IEEE-SA is one such entity. Each major
board will recognize outstanding individuals based on outstanding contributions
to that board and its major programs and activities. A recipient must be a
member of the IEEE but does not have to be a member of the IEEE-SASB or the
IEEE-SA BoG. We should identify and recognize individuals whose contributions
helped to bring in and support the new millennium.
Two categories of
nominees will be considered:
1) Nominees recognized for their development
of standard(s) having a major impact on industry. This could be for a single
standard or a family of standards.
2) Nominees recognized for their
contributions to the development or establishment of management infrastructure
having significant impact on industry now or in the next millennium. This could
be for a new major infrastructure or for major improvements and evolution of an
existing infrastructure.
The following information is required to
evaluate nominees for a Millennium Medal:
1) Name of candidate. A group
of individuals might also be considered.
2) Category for consideration
(i.e., standards development or management infrastructure)
3)
Identification of the standard or management infrastructure for which the
individual should be recognized.
4) The role the individual played in
generating the standard or infrastructure for which a medal is to be awarded.
This should be a brief, clear, and succinct statement no longer than a single
paragraph in length.
5) A brief statement identifying the nature of the
impact expected to flow from the individual's efforts. This should be a clear
and succinct statement no longer than a single paragraph in length.
This
material should be sent to Dennis Bodson, Chairman IEEE-SA ArCom, via email at
d.bodson@ieee.org no later than
September 1, 1999.
