IEEE LONG ISLAND SECTION 2020/21 COMBINED AWARDS CEREMONY PRESENTATION AND DINNER

IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. With over 1600 engineering professionals, the IEEE Long Island Section is the largest engineering society on Long Island.

IEEE members from a wide range of industries and academia work tirelessly to further the advancement of technology, making Long Island the center of innovation. Given the cancellation of last year’s awards ceremony due to the Corona-19 pandemic, the 2020/21 IEEE Long Island Section Awards Banquet will combine the award presentations for both 2019 and 2020, recognizing outstanding Long Islanders who have made significant engineering contributions at both the Section level and the Regional (Northeastern USA) level.

The IEEE Long Island Section is proud of its collaboration with many premier companies and organizations on Long Island, many of which participate in this grand affair each year. The Awards Banquet is a unique opportunity for companies and organizations to showcase their local presence and support for the best and brightest in the industry.

Please join us in 2021 for the 2020/21 IEEE Long Island Section Combined Awards Banquet in recognizing the achievements of our members and their contributions to the profession and the IEEE Long Island Section. Let us hope that this celebration is the start of a return to normalcy for all of us.
