2. 
   Purpose of the Committee
   

The Awards Committee is responsible for the conduct of the currently existing award prizes, fellowships and other symbols of recognition of merit bestowed by ACM as a whole. This includes providing recommendations for appointments to their subcommittees (ACM membership is required and approval is by the ACM Awards Committee Co-Chairs and ACM President), soliciting nominees, selecting winners from among the nominees, and arranging for the formal conferring of the awards, and exploring possibilities of funding awards with outside organizations.
The Committee is further responsible for defining and updating the awards structure of ACM and its units by recommending to Council, when appropriate, the establishment of new programs for the recognition of merit, or the modification or discontinuance of existing ones, with the goal of maintaining a balance among the awards recognizing different kinds of meritorious activities.
All ACM awards must be approved by the ACM Awards Committee. Further approval by ACM Council is required before any proper name may be attached to any such award or prize. This authority may not be delegated. Subunit-wide awards, excluding Named Awards, generally do not require ACM Council approval. The Policies and Guide for Establishing an ACM award is available on: http://www.acm.org/awards/policies.html
The Committee will provide advice to subunits of ACM regarding any award programs conducted by them. Subunits engaging in award activities should consult with the Awards Committee concerning the nature and balance among the programs of ACM and its subunits.
The Committee will maintain contact, and as appropriate, exchange information with other professional or technical organizations concerning their awards programs.
1.3 Committee Organization

The Awards Committee is a standing committee of Council, reporting through the President. The ACM Awards Committee consists of the ACM President, the CEO (ex-officio), the Co-Chairs of the Awards Committee, the current chairs of the individual ACM award selection committees, and the ACM SIG Chairs Liaison with the Awards Committee.

   Awards Committee Meeting
   

The annual Awards Committee meeting was held Saturday, June 16, 2012, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. Twenty-two people were in attendance including: Erik Altman (SGB Liaison); Vint Cerf (incoming ACM President); Jennifer Chayes (2011 Turing); Lori Clarke (2011 Distinguished Member Co-Chair); Eugene Fiume (2011 Kanellakis); C.C. Gotlieb (Awards Committee Co-Chair); Jim Horning (Awards Committee Co-Chair); Mary Jane Irwin (2012 Fellows); John (Tim) Korb (2012 ISEF); Andrew McGettrick (2011 Karlstrom); Rosemary McGuinness (ACM Awards Committee Liaison); Avi Mendelson (2011 Distinguished Member Co-Chair); Cherri Pancake (GBP-2012); Ronald Perrott (2011 Fellows); Martin Rinard (2011 Doctoral Dissertation – on phone); Pat Ryan (ACM COO); John White (ACM CEO).

The majority of the award selection decisions went smoothly. The Award Committee Chairs would like to see an increase in the number of nominations.

The ACM Awards Banquet

The annual ACM Awards Banquet was held Saturday, June 16, 2012 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, and there were over 400 attendees. The banquet was held in conjunction with the Turing Centenary Celebration (TCC) and most of the 32 Turing Laureates who attended the TCC also attended the banquet. ACM’s President Alain Chesnais was the Master of Ceremonies.

Among the corporate representatives for the various award presentations were: for the Turing Award – Limor Fix, Intel and Alfred Spector, Google VP of Research and Special Initiatives; for the ACM-W Athena Lecturer Award - Alan Eustace, Google Senior VP, Engineering & Research; for the ACM –Infosys Foundation Award - Infosys Chairman Emeritus N.R. Narayana Murthy; for the Grace Murray Hopper Award - Urs Hoelzle, Google Fellow; Brent Hailpern, IBM, for the Software System Award; Prabhakar Ragahavan, Google, for the Doctoral Dissertation Award; for the Karlstrom Award - Tracy Dunkelberger, Pearson/ Prentice Hall; and for the SRC awards - Judith Bishop, Microsoft Research.

Recruitment Plans for New/Younger Members

            The Awards Committee Co-Chairs continue to seek recommendations from the outgoing award subcommittee chairs for members to replace those whose terms are expiring.  In addition to seeking new members whose expertise falls within the criteria for the various awards, in the past the expectation for diversity was typically implied.  Over the past several years, the request for recommendations that take into account age, gender, and international representation has been explicit.

In addition to its efforts to achieve a greater diversity within the award subcommittees, the Awards Committee will seek the assistance of the SIG Chairs to help ensure that the award nominations reflect the diversity in the ACM membership, as well as the members of the ACM Regional Councils.
