Directors Award

The IFT Directors Award

The Director’s Award is a non-technical based award. Whereas the Pioneer Award recognizes outstanding technical achievements in and contributions to the field of telemetry, the Directors Award will recognize non-technical achievements and contributions. Directors Award recipients should be well recognized outside the membership of the IFT. Nominees should be selected because of recognized non-technical achievements in administrative, managerial, and support service to the telemetering community.
