Nominate an employer for an EAB Award

Nominee eligibility

The Employer Professional Development Award is given to organizations for contributions to employee continuing education and professional development.

A previously awarded employer is eligible to be nominated again after three years. However, nominations that include previously awarded projects should not be included without significant improvement.

 

Nominator requirements

Members and non-members of IEEE are eligible to serve as a nominator of this award. The nominator may be affiliated with the employer, but it is not required.

Current members of the IEEE EAB, IEEE-HKN-BOG, or members of the IEEE professional staff, may not be nominators, recipients, or endorsers of EAB or IEEE-HKN Awards, unless otherwise specified. Current members of the IEEE EAB Awards and Recognition Committee (ARC), IEEE Life Members Committee (LMC), or trustees and officers of the Charles LeGeyt Fortescue Graduate Fund or the IEEE-HKN Awards & Recognition Committee may not be nominators, recipients, or endorsers of awards associated with their respective committees, unless otherwise specified.

As specified in IEEE Policy 4.4.H, Eligibility and Process Limitations, individuals serving on any board or committee involved at any stage of the recipient selection or approval process for an award shall be ineligible to receive or act as a nominator or reference for that award. This conflict of interest limitation shall apply to all awards given by the IEEE or any of its organizational units.

An individual can only serve as a nominator or reference for one award per category. 

Reference requirements

The nominator is responsible to provide a minimum of three, and a maximum of five, people who have had firsthand experience with the professional-development activities of the nominated organization. Any person, including non-members of IEEE, who has firsthand experience with the professional-development activities of the nominated organization is eligible to provide reference for this award.

An individual can only serve as a nominator or reference for one award per category.
