Great organizations are built by great Teams.
The SIM Team Excellence Award was created to recognize exceptional technology Teams that demonstrate leadership, innovation, measurable impact, and cross-functional collaboration. Unlike awards that focus solely on individuals, this program celebrates the Team behind the results.
This is a Chapter-led program. We encourage interested participants to first connect with their local SIM Chapter leadership to determine the level of participation.
If your Chapter is not participating, Teams may self-nominate directly through SIM National.
