Awards and Recognition

Annual Meeting Program Awards

The Carolyn B. Dexter and William H. Newman Awards are All-Academy awards, selected by an inclusive nomination process and dedicated award committees. For each award, each of the Academy Division or Interest Group Program Chairs nominates one of their accepted papers to be considered by the respective award committee. From this pool, the award committees formally review and select recipients for the awards.
