"People want to feel what they do makes a difference."

"Human beings need to be recognized and rewarded for special efforts."

"Recognition is so easy to do and so inexpensive to distribute that there is simply no excuse for not doing it."

"We all like to be recognized and appreciated. Just by giving an award or recognition certificate, formally recognizing someone in front of a group…we’re telling the person that their work is appreciated."

"Knowing that what you do is important and appreciated is the best reward."

Because of this need to recognize, appreciate and celebrate the accomplishments of our peers in the IEEE, the Twin Cities Section Awards & Recognition Program recently was expanded.

New awards for the Section Outstanding Engineer, the Corporate Outstanding Engineer, the Section Outstanding Member and the Section Outstanding Student have been created and will be given to qualified nominees during the Twin Cities Section Annual Awards Banquet in April.

Nominations for these awards must submitted on an approved nomination form by March 31. If you know someone who is deserving of one of these awards, please give him/her the opportunity to be honored and recognized. Let’s be proud of our peers and celebrate their accomplishments!
