SPDC Member Awards

SPDC documents are contribution driven. Members make these contributions and the Awards Working Group number 3.1.2 recommends IEEE, IEEE-SA, PES, and PES-SPDC Awards for major contributors to the A&S Subcommittee. The SPDC nominated awards are usually presented at the SPDC Spring meeting luncheon.

SPDC members often contribute to several SPD standards-making organizations. Where known, awards from these non-IEEE organizations are listed. Presented awards are listed here by year, the award name and the recipient:
