The IFT Pioneer Award
The IFT Pioneer Award is an award presented in recognition for outstanding achievements in, and contributions to, the field of telemetry. Recipients should be well recognized and regarded within the telemetering community. Nominees should be selected not only because of recognized technical achievements, but also for recognized leadership, development, and support of and service to the IFT, ITC, and telemetering community in general. Nominations are due March 15th. Please visit the Pioneer Award page for more information.
The IFT Directors Award
The IFT 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. Nominations are due March 15th.
