The 2023 recipients of this honor are: Dan Blitzer, Shirley Coyle, Bob Henderson, Peter Hugh, and Shelli Sedlak-Mejia.

The IES Fellow Designation awards IES members for their valuable contributions to the technical activities of the Society; to the art or science of illumination; or to the related scientific or engineering fields. The 2023 IES Fellows are: Dawn De Grazio, Eunice Noell-Waggoner, and Morgan Pattison.

Each year, the IES President recognizes member excellence with the IES Presidential Award. IES President Frank Agraz, Jr. (2022-2023) recognized Liliana Gonzalez (Mexico City Section), Mark Lien, and Dave Young.
