Annual Reliability Society Awards

The IEEE Reliability Society sponsors an annual Chapter Awards program to encourage activities and member participation within its chapters. All IEEE Reliability Society chapters officially recognized as active on January 1, 2018 are eligible.

Scoring Criteria
Awards are given based on each chapter's calculated score with the below criteria. Scoring criteria cover the period from January 1 through December 31, 2018 and include:

Number of technical meetings
Total attendance at technical meetings *
Hours of training, lecture series, and conferences
Number of papers/presentations *
Number of participants in professional meetings *
Number of chapter reports published in the Reliability Society Newsletter

Scoring criteria marked with * are weighted based on chapter size. For joint chapters consisting of multiple societies, chapter size includes members from all societies. Jointly sponsored (with other chapters or organizations) and non-IEEE activities receive half the points as chapter sponsored and IEEE activities. The judgment of the IEEE Reliability Society Membership Committee is final.

Awards
The following awards will be given to chapters in the order of highest to lowest score:
First Place: $ 800
Second Place: $ 600
Third Place: $ 400
Fourth Place: $ 200 (given to all Chapters that submit a complete awards package, but do not place in the top three)

Chapter inputs are due Dec 20, 2018. Nomination packages went to all chapter chairs. For more information, contact the Chapters Coordinator, Loretta Arellano at l.arellano@ieee.org
