Service Awards
In recognition of their efforts and contributions to creating or supporting SIGDA sponsored programs, ACM/SIGDA gives annually several service awards to SIGDA volunteers who tirelessly dedicate their time to running various programs sponsored by ACM/SIGDA.
The SIGDA Distinguished Service Award (or variations thereof) is given to individuals who have dedicated many years of their career to promoting, leading, or creating ACM/SIGDA programs or events. The SIGDA Technical Leadership Award is given to volunteers who ensure smooth operation of our many professional development programs.
