The IEEE Life Member Committee (LMC) launches every year the LMC Award Program to recognize one Life Member (LM) and one Life Member Affinity Group (LMAG) from each Region.

The activity level of the R8 LM community is well demonstrated by the high participation in the award program since one-third of the global nominations were submitted by R8 LMs this year.

Twelve regional awardees from six Regions were selected, including two from R8.
