On Wednesday 6 December, the Australian Computer Society (ACS) acknowledged Victorian Fellow, Christopher Avram, as Honorary Life Member at the State Board Dinner. Ian Dennis, Chairman, ACS Victoria presented Chris with an honorary certificate and gold ACS pin. ‘ACS Honorary Life Membership is our way of recognising the significant contribution of individuals to the ICT profession through their service to the ACS. It is a rare National award, and only granted to those whose extended and selfless service really warrants it,’ said Mr Dennis.
