PLEASE
NOTE:
Current members of the IEEE EAB, or of the IEEE EAB Awards and
Recognition Committee, or members of IEEE staff, may NOT be recipients,
nominators or endorsers of EAB Awards.
You have
been notified that your name has been submitted as a Reference
to support a nomination for the IEEE EAB Society/Council Professional Development Award. With that notification you should have been
provided with the following:
- A copy
of the completed Nomination Form for the candidate that you
are requested to endorse
- A copy
of or link to the Reference Form
REFERENCES ELEIGIBILITY
The
Nominator is responsible to provide a minimum of three and a maximum
of five presons who have had first-hand experience with the professional
development activities of the nominated organization for this
award. At least two references must be IEEE members. As noted
above, current members of the IEEE EAB, of the IEEE EAB Awards
and Recognition Committee, or IEEE Staff may not serve as references
for any IEEE EAB award.
PREPARATION OF REFERENCE FORM
The
IEEE EAB Awards and Recognitions Committee places substantial
reliance on your statements. Statements of reference should cite
specific evidence of the uniqueness and impact of the contributions
of the candidate. Nonspecific comments, such as this person or
work is outstanding, without accompanying detailed justification,
are not of value to the IEEE EAB Awards and Recognition Committee.
Comments about the relative contributions of any work attributed
to more than the nominee, for example, if you are a co-author
of a listed activity, are very valuable. All statements of references
must be submitted on the 2007 IEEE EAB Employer Professional Development
Award Reference Form.
The data on
the Nomination Form should not be repeated word for word on this
Reference Form. Such appropriation of another's words puts in
question the reference's judgment of the candidate’s accomplishments,
and, to that extent, diminishes the judges' confidence in the
reference and reduces its contribution to the candidate's ranking.
Please complete
the form on your computer, save as an MS Word file, and submit
as an attached email file to
eab-awards@ieee.org, as indicated at the end of the form.
ALSO, please email a copy of your completed Reference Form to
the Nominator.
All information
must be typed in MS Word. Handwritten
copy is not permitted.
ADHERE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS FOR COPY
Please
confine all text to the space indicated on the form for each item.
Addenda are not permitted and will not be reviewed by the IEEE
EAB Awards and Recognition Committee.
PLEASE
SUBMIT ALL INFORMATION IN ENGLISH.
