Annual Board of Trustees Meeting
October 1, 2004
ICSI's annual Board of Trustees meeting was held on October 1, 2004. At the meeting, ICSI Founders Ron Kay and Norbert Szyperski received Distinguished Service Awards, and former EECS Chair Shankar Sastry was elected Chairman of the Board.
The Distinguished Service Awards were given for the "seminal role in the creation of ICSI". Ron Kay was present and thanked the Board and Director Nelson Morgan for the honor, while Norbert Szyperski was unable to pick up his award in person because he was receiving an award from the President of Germany at the same time.
2004 Chairman of the Board Cliff Higgerson nominated Professor Shankar Sastry to succeed him as the new Chairman. Professor Sastry accepted the nomination, and the Board voted unanimously to elect him. ICSI is grateful to Mr. Higgerson for his service as Chairman of the Board, and looks forward to the contributions Professor Sastry will make as the new Chairman.
