[ieeetcsc-discuss] TCSC Nomination of Distinguished Volunteers for IEEE Computer Society Service Awards

[Rajkumar Buyya]

Dear Colleagues:

As you know TCSC runs all its core activities (such as conferences, 
technical forums, young researcher forums, managing TCSC student travel 
scholarship) through volunteers who dedicate their significant time and 
effort for the benefit of our community.  Please browse through TCSC 
webpage: http://www.ieeetcsc.org/ to get the feel of volunteers services 
in action.

It is important that the TCSC recognises key volunteers for their unique 
and sustained services especially over a period of time; and making our 
TCSC as one of the most successful Technical Committees with the IEEE 
Computer Society in many forms: technically, financially, & socially.

With this brief note, I am pleased to announce that the following 10 
colleagues have been nominated, last month, for the IEEE Computer 
Society Awards for their distinguished services to TCSC and the 
community as a whole (as noted in the citation indicated below).

Please join me in congratulating all of them.

Cheers
Raj
Chair, TCSC
PS: TCSC is always looking for new volunteers, those interested please 
let me know - we can easily fit you in in our diverse portfolio of 
services!
