LETTER FROM THE IEEE PRESIDENT AND AWARDS BOARD CHAIR

Dear IEEE Members, Honorees, Colleagues, and Friends:
Welcome to the 2020 IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit & Honors Ceremony!
On behalf of IEEE's Board of Directors, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our generous awards sponsors and to
all of the nominators, endorsers, volunteers, and professional staff for their dedication to making our Awards Program, along with
the annual IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit, such a success.
Most importantly, we would like to acknowledge all of this year's well-qualified nominees-the diverse array of engineers,
scientists, technologists, and practitioners who exemplify the mission of the IEEE of advancing technology for the benefit of
humanity.
There are amazing technological innovations and cutting-edge engineering research happening across the spectrum of
technology today, some of which was discussed and explored at today's summit. Much of the work being done was made
possible by the achievements of those we are recognizing this evening. Tonight's award ceremony is a celebration of the
contributions of some of the greatest minds of our time who have made a lasting impact on society.
Thank you all for joining us as we acclaim those visionaries, leaders, and legends-our members and colleagues whose
achievements have shaped our lives. May they serve as an inspiration to the next generation of disrupters whose future
innovations will continue to move technology forward across the spectrum of fields of interest.

Toshio Fukuda,
2020 IEEE President and CEO
