MGA Awards Nomination Process

Printable Format
Printer Friendly

These awards are designed to recognize outstanding efforts by IEEE volunteers.  The accomplishments of the candidate should be of "significant performance," and have made a distinguishing contribution to IEEE.  These are NOT technical achievement awards.

Nominees for MGA awards can be from any Region.

Completed nomination forms due to Member and Geographic Activities Department by 
15 October


The process for nominating candidates for MGA awards will be greatly simplified if the nominator follows the general procedures listed below.

  1. The nominator can significantly influence the selection process by accurately completing the nomination form and by providing all required documentation. Supply relevant information in concise English. The form should be typed or printed neatly. Please follow all instructions carefully.
  2. Neither MGA ARC nor a selection committee will research unsupported claims or enhance the nomination package in any way.
  3. Consider the distinctive features of the award as described in the guidelines. Ask the question: Does the achievement fit the award?
  4. Use the on-line forms or secure the appropriate nomination form from Member and Geographic Activities or your Regional Awards and Recognition Chair. Copies of forms from the MGA Awards manual are an acceptable substitute. Questions should be directed to MGA Awards and Recognition Committee (email: mga-awards@ieee.org).
  5. Send the completed package to the address indicated on the nomination form. A copy of the nomination package should be sent to Member and Geographic Activities.
  6. The Awards and Recognition Committee of the Member and Geographic Activities Board reserves the right to consider any nomination for awards other than the award suggested when, in its opinion, the support and justification may more appropriately apply to other MGA Awards.
  7. Current members of the Member and Geographic Activities Board are not eligible for nomination. In addition, the Following are not eligible to be considered for the MGA Awards:
    1. Self Nominations.
    2. Per IEEE Policy 4.4.B (Posthumous Awards).  Posthumous awards shall be made only when knowledge of the awardees death is received after announcement of the recipient. Nominations of known deceased persons shall not receive consideration.
    3. Per IEEE Policy 4.4.G (Staff Ineligibility).  Members of the IEEE staff shall not be eligible as candidates for any new or revised award.
    4. Per IEEE Policy 4.4.H (Eligibility and Process Limitations).  No person shall receive an award, who, at any stage of the recipient-selection process for that award, is eligible to vote on who shall receive that award.  Nor may they be the nominator or reference for a nomination of a candidate for such award. This conflict of interest limitation shall apply to all awards given by the IEEE or any of its organizational units.
