You can help recognize the efforts of outstanding volunteers by nominating individuals for one of the prestigious IEEE Member and Geographic Activities (MGA) Awards.  Each award has a unique mission and criteria and offers the opportunity to honor distinguished colleagues, inspiring teachers, and corporate leaders.

If you know someone who has made substantial regional contributions through innovative projects, exemplary leadership, service, or by fulfilling the goals of transnational activities, please consider nominating them for one of the following awards:

·        MGA Larry K. Wilson Transnational Award
·        MGA Innovation Award
·        MGA Leadership Award
·        MGA Achievement Award
·        MGA GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade) Achievement Award

Earlier this year, the MGA Awards and Recognition Committee and the IEEE Region Awards Chairs worked to pilot the MGA Outstanding Section Award submission process through an online portal.  Due to the success of this pilot, the portal is also being used for the submission of the above MGA awards.  Nominators can submit nominations, endorsers can upload endorsement letters, and reviewers can review and rank nominations, all within the online system.

Please visit the MGA Award Nomination web page to review the nominator guidelines and eligibility requirements, reference the step-by-step submittal instructions, and link to the portal for nominations.

The deadline for nominations is 15 October 2011.

Please note: As this is still a pilot program, all feedback about the new online portal is welcome, so that we may continually work to improve the IEEE MGA Awards process.  Please email questions and/or feedback to MGA Awards.
