2001 IEEE LEOS Chapter of the Year Award
The Italian Chapter was honored to be named ‘Chapter of the Year,’ sharing with the Moscow Chapter, in the recently-announced LEOS Chapter Awards for 2001. The Chapter was formed in 1997 and previously was the winner of the ‘Most Improved Chapter’ awards for the years 1998 and 1999. During this period, membership of the Italian Chapter has steadily increased, from the initial 87 members in 1997, to 105 in 1999, to nearly double, reaching 172 in 2001.
