IEEE Regional Exemplary Student Branch Award

 Public recognition of exemplary IEEE Student Branch operations

 A customized certificate attesting to the exemplary operation of the Student Branch

 The branches receiving an award will be announced at an appropriate conference. The certificate will normally be presented at a meeting of the Section within which the Branch is located.

 An award will be presented annually to each qualifying Student Branch in each Region, without numerical limit. To qualify for the award, a Branch must conform to IEEE Bylaws, have an active program, and support IEEE goals.

 A Student Branch must be nominated for this award by an officer of the Branch, using the IEEE Regional Exemplary Student Branch Award Nomination Form. The nomination must be accompanied by supporting documentation to illustrate that the nominated Branch is deserving of the award, and by the certifying endorsement of the Branch Counselor.

 Awards will be presented to those Student Branches that are found to be operated in a manner consistent with the goals of the IEEE. A branch will be considered to have met this criterion if it has furnished all 6 required items of documentation ( List 1 on the Nomination Form) and at least 12 elective items of documentation (from List 2 of the Nomination Form). Verification and/or documentation of the items from List 2 should be available upon request.

The selection committee is to consist of the RSR, the RSAC (or designated representative), and a representative of the Region Executive Committee. The RSAC shall appoint one of the members of the selection committee as chairman.

The awards are to be determined annually, prior to or at an appropriate Student Conference or meeting, based on Branch activities during the preceding 12 months. Nominations must be submitted to the Regional Student Activities Committee Chair (RSAC) by the dates listed above.  The RSACs are listed with email addresses here. The award recipients will receive a customized certificate when requirements are met.  Each RSAC will then select the top Exemplary Branch Award recipient from the each of the ten Regions to compete for the IEEE Outstanding Student Branch Award.  One worldwide Outstanding Student Branch award is made annually.  The evaluation will be completed in October each year.   Student Branches, we encourage you to tell us about your activities and good luck!
