The Abraham Ottenberg Service Award was established in 1973 by the Silicon Valley Section to recognize members who have rendered outstanding service to the Section. It is named after Abraham Ottenberg, a former member who devoted himself to service to the Section. The award currently consists of an engraved plaque and a check for $250. The award recipient is selected from candidates nominated by members of the Section. Nominees must be members or affiliates of the Silicon Valley Section.
Nominating letters should include a brief biography of the candidate and a description or evaluation of the service(s) to be recognized by the award. Seconding nominations are not required but will be accepted. Re-nominations are accepted for consideration as previous nominations are not retained for subsequent years. Previous recipients are not eligible.
