Awards

Circle of Excellence

The Broadband Forum recognizes the exceptional contributions of its members through the "Circle of Excellence" award which is distributed at our quarterly meetings. Awards are given as a one-time achievment and determined by nomination and given to a select few who have exhibited exceptional leadership, diligence, or provided a contribution that was foremost in making the Forum's achievement possible. In general, their work had a large positive impact for the Broadband Forum or the industry as a whole.

Outstanding Service & Contributor Awards

The Outstanding Service and Contributor awards are given to individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty within the forum working groups by serving as working group chairs or making many contributions throughout the year, as well as attending all meetings within a given year to further the work that is being done within those working groups. First time awarded in Dallas, January 2003.

Lifetime Achievement Award

The Lifetime Achievement is an award given by the Broadband Forum to individuals who have over time provided a major influence on the direction and success of DSL development. Individuals who receive this award are the key individuals who have helped the Forum chart uncharted territory in overcoming deployment obstacles, and whose vision has inspired our industry's growth.

Charter Club

The Charter Club is intended to recognize current Broadband Forum members who have been involved since the Forum was chartered in 1994.
