TIA is leading multiple recognition programs to acknowledge the member and participating companies, their employees and individuals who contribute to the success of TIA. Our program will encourage and reward the engagement and achievements of TIA members and participants.
This includes companies, their representatives and individuals involved in TIA’s standards groups (including US Technical Advisory Groups), Technology Programs (Smart Buildings and Data Centers), and Government Affairs’ committee initiatives.
