Lewis S. Sternberg Recognized at IES Annual Conference Congratulations to Lewis S. Sternberg on receiving the Louis B. Marks Award on November 8 at the Illuminating Engineering Society 2015 Annual Conference. The award, named in honor of the first president of the IES, is granted to a member of the society in recognition of exceptional service of a non-technical nature to the society. In his 62 years of membership, Sternberg has continually served the IES in thoughtful, visionary and inspired ways. Sternberg has focused relentlessly, but not exclusively, on education. With his skillful leadership, the mission of the IES was redefined, bringing research and education to the forefront. The Lighting Research Institute was formed and the Lighting Research Education Fund was developed, precipitating new fundraising partnerships for lighting research and education. Sternberg was also instrumental in creating a new international perspective for the IES, addressing the 1932 CIE Conference to present the innovative and successful funding methods that supported the expansion of research and education initiatives. Sternberg's IES service includes chairing the 1976 IES Annual Conference, the Society Bylaws Committee, the Lighting Research and Education Committee and the Board of Nominations at various times from 1976-1986. He also served as RVP, VP of regional activities, and Senior VP. Sternberg was IES president in 1982-1983 and received the DSA in 1984.
