Lifetime Achievement Award

The Lifetime Achievement was an award given by the Broadband Forum similar to the Distinguished Fellow Award, but for individuals who retired from the Forum. This award has been discontinued.

Leadership Award

The Leadership award is given to outgoing, commendable working group chairs or Board members. These individuals, who have dedicated their time and leadership ability to establishing our success, have gone above and beyond the call of duty within the Broadband Forum and we thank them for their service.
