  • Ambassador Award

    WABE would not be successful without the many people outside our membership that support us. 

    Our Ambassador Award recognizes these individuals, who have contributed significantly.  These are the people that give before we’ve asked, are always there when we need them, and who are unabashed supporters of our organization and our cause.

  • WABE Excellence in Engineering Award

    The WABE ‘Excellence in Engineering’ Award is given to the engineers/technical team who have made a significant contribution to their company and/or the broader engineering community in the Television, Radio, or IT industries in the past year.

  • R.W Lamb Award

    The highest honour WABE can bestow on an individual is the RW Lamb Award.  The WABE committee and grandfathers do not take the responsibility of choosing a recipient for this award lightly.  As a matter of fact, there have been many, many years where this award has not been given out. 

    This award recognizes an individual whose personal achievements and contribution to the broadcast industry over their lifetime, is outstanding.  These remarkable people can be considered pioneers, originally going where few dare to venture, and forging new previously unexplored paths.  Through persistence and dedication, they push the boundaries of what we know to advance the body of knowledge in our engineering world.

  • Retirement Award

    Each year former WABE members that have retired are given the Retirement Award.  This award  celebrates their life long achievement in the industry

    –  Continually and relentlessly advancing the mission of WABE or to our external community
    –  Assisting with the annual convention
    –  Serving on the WABE Executive committee
