TPC Recognition

• Historically

  retirement
• Certificate of Recognition presented at IMS TPC

• Challenge
• Member rotation methodology has been variable
• Sporadic visibility to Awards Committee
• Inconsistent recognition for years of support
• Disservice to our volunteers
• Proposal

  member rotation methodology and visibility
• Suggest include at least 5 past TPC Chairs
