People are at the center of our community, and without the talent and unselfishness of our community members, we would not all benefit from the dynamic and friendly culture that exists at Georgia Tech.
IBB is extremely proud of the hard work and success that its members have achieved. As a result of their commitment to excellence, the IBB sponsors several awards to reward individuals in various ways.
