ITEA Test & Evaluation Professional Awards
ITEA Test & Evaluation Professional Awards
ITEA is proud to honor those that advance the T&E community through their contributions to both the T&E Profession, as well as to the Association. ITEA presents six (6) ITEA T&E Professional Awards which recognize contributions to the T&E Profession, and three (3) ITEA Awards which recognize contributions to the Association. These awards are presented at the ITEA Annual International T&E Symposium.
The ITEA leadership would like to extend their appreciation to the Professional Awards Committee, chaired by Stephanie Clewer, former ITEA Board President. Ms. Clewer is supported by five committee chairs for each technical award and the Allen R. Matthews Award; and they are supported by several individuals from Government, Industry and Academia to provide a thorough and rigorous review process. ITEA also recognizes three individuals who contribute to the success of ITEA.
