How- ever, a few awards are extra special and pre- sented for extraordinary efforts, for long-time commitment to both IPC and the electronics industry. There are six award categories; four go to outstanding individuals and two recognize companies whose IPC involvement has been IPC Awards Rewarding Tireless Efforts for the Good of the Industry extensive. The awards are: The Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame Award; the Dieter Berg- man IPC Fellowship Award; the President's Award; the IPC Rising Star Award; the IPC Stan Plzak Corporate Award; and the IPC Peter Sar- manian Corporate Award. This year, there were eight award recipients, two each in a couple of the categories. My interviews with the individuals who received these awards are presented in the following pages.
