Hello to everyone. This is a request for nominations for the NEEDHA 
Awards, to be presented at our next annual meeting, San Diego, March 
22 - 26, 1996.

Please send nominations to any member of the Awards Committee by 
January 5, 1996.  At this time, limit your nominations to a few 
sentences (name of nominee, program, reason for nomination).  The 
Awards Committee will then go over these, pick leading candidates, 
and request more detailed information.

Awards guidelines and committee members are given below. Thank you 
for your help.

GUIDELINES FOR NEEDHA AWARDS

The two primary recognitions to be awarded by NEEDHA at the annual 
conference are the OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD and the INNOVATIVE 
PROGRAM AWARD.  If during a given year sufficiently meritorious 
individuals or programs cannot be identified, it is not necessary to 
make the corresponding award.

OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD
This award is given to an individual with a sustained record of service to 
NEEDHA (primary) and to electrical and computer engineering (secondary).  
The individual recognized by this award need not be a member of NEEDHA 
at the time of the award, nor is it necessary for a candidate to have been 
a department head, but preference should be given to candidates who have 
made significant contributions to NEEDHA.

INNOVATIVE PROGRAM AWARD
This award is given to individual(s) or department(s) that has (have) 
created, implemented, and sustained the implementation of a successful 
innovative program and possibly assisted in the implementation of that 
program at other institutions.  A successful program is one that has stood 
the test of time (i.e., formal integration into a program of study) and 
has produced measurable improvements in the quality of the electrical and 
computer education received by a significant number of students at one or 
more institutions.
