In 2019 IMAPS added two NEW Society Awards, The IMAPS Leadership Award and the Emerging Leaders Award!
The IMAPS Leadership Award (NEW!) recognizes significant contributions to the growth of the Society in terms of mentorship, technical or business achievement. Aimed at mid-career thought leaders in microelectronics, nominees are expected to have 8-20 years in the field and 5 years in the society.
The Emerging Leaders Award (NEW!) recognizes the contributions made by emerging talent with 3-8 years in the field and Society membership for a minimum of 2 years.
In 2018 The William D. Ashman Award and the John A. Wagnon Award were condensed into one award:
The William D. Ashman - John A. Wagnon Technical Achievement Award is given to a member of the society who has made outstanding technical contributions to the microelectronics packaging industry, while participating and demonstrating support of activities to enhance the profession as a member. The award may be given for a specific accomplishment, a number of accomplishments over a period of years, or for overall contributions to the microelectronics industry. Recipients of this award automatically become Life Members and Fellows of the Society.
