2015 Eric O. Forster Distinguished Service Award
Every two years the IEEE DEIS selects an individual in recognition of sustained leadership, support, and contributions to the advancement of the field of electrical insulation. This award, which was first given in 1992, is named in honor of the late Eric O. Forster, for his distinguished service on behalf of DEIS. The award is restricted to DEIS members.
