Service Awards

The IEEE VGTC routinely honors outstanding services with the IEEE Certificate of Appreciation. For extraordinary services to our community we honor volunteers with the IEEE Meritorious Service Award.

IEEE Meritorious Service Award
A certificate presented for meritorious and significant service to any Society-sponsored activity. Qualification is enhanced by the level and number of contributions, excellence, dedication and tenure of service. Meritorious Service Awards have been granted by IEEE to the VGTC Chairpersons for their successful development of the Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee and service to its conferences, symposia, and other activities.
