award 2020
It’s easy to name the best CEOs and entrepreneurs, but far more difficult to know who the best engineering leaders are. The goal of this award is to recognize and celebrate the engineering leaders whose work in the trenches has made a meaningful difference to their teams and organizations.

SELECTION PROCESS

Nominations submitted by members of the community will be reviewed by the Inspiring Leadership Award selection committee, comprised of a diverse pool of experienced engineering leaders.
The selection process has 6 steps:
1, First, we narrow down the nominations to a smaller group with relatively strong stories.
2, A recorded interview is conducted to learn more about the nominee's leadership story.
3, We edit out names, titles, and companies of the nominators and nominees from the interview videos before sending them to our voting committee to minimize bias.
4, Our committee reviews the interview videos to determine their top 3 choices among all the nominees.
5, We collect results from each committee member and identify award winners with the most votes.
6, The winners of the award are announced during a special ceremony at the Summit.
