IISE is delighted to support IISE Societies and IISE Divisions in recognizing or thanking a member(s) who has positively impacted a division, a society, or the industrial engineering profession with (1) extraordinary or dedicated service, (2) valuable contributions, and (3) industry achievements. Most divisions and societies present certificates at their Town Hall meetings at the IISE Annual Conference and Expo.

Due to the large number of requests for certificates prior to the annual conference and IISE Headquarters' desire to give you timely and accurate support, it is important that these guidelines be followed when requesting certificates:

  5. Wording for what reason(s) person is being recognized or thanked. For example, "In recognition of his/her service on the _________ Board of Directors 2015-2016," or "For her/his outstanding contributions to the success of the ________ Division." 
  6. Specify date if you want the date on the award. 
  7. Specify whose signature(s) will be executed on the certificate and title(s). Include the electronic signature file. 
  8. Certificates will be shipped to the IISE Annual Conference and can be picked up at the Registration desk. Any certificates not claimed will shipped back to IISE and mailed directly to the award recipient.
