SUMMARY:Outstanding Service Award
DESCRIPTION:Birds of a Feather\n\nYong Tsui (YT) Lee (Nanyang Technologica
 l University)\n\nOutstanding Service Award\n\nThe Outstanding Service Awar
 d is presented annually to recognize a career of outstanding service to AC
 M SIGGRAPH by a volunteer. It recognizes an individual who has given extra
 ordinary service to ACM SIGGRAPH, both in the trenches and in positions of
  more responsibility or visibility, over a significant period of time. The
  award includes a lifetime membership in ACM SIGGRAPH.\n\nFor his service 
 to the computer graphics community in Asia including the founding and nurt
 uring of the SIGGRAPH Asia Conference.\n\nACM SIGGRAPH recognizes Lee Yong
  Tsui (YT) with the 2023 Outstanding Service Award for his nearly three de
 cades of service to the international organization, in addition to his ser
 vice to the SIGGRAPH Asia conference.\n\nYT’s association with ACM and ACM
  SIGGRAPH started in 1980 when he joined as a student member. He was an ea
 rly supporter of ACM SIGGRAPH in South-East Asia as he cofounded the SIGGR
 APH Singapore Chapter and served as Vice President from 1997-2009, and the
 n again from 2013 to the present. In 2003 he was the inaugural Graphite Co
 nference Co-chair with Matt Adcock and Ian Gwilt. In 2004 he was the Graph
 ite Conference Chair in Singapore and in 2006 the Graphite Conference Co-c
 hair with Prof. Siti Mariyam Shamsuddi in Kuala Lumpur.\n\nIn 2006 YT was 
 part of a small group of Asian Professors who met with ACM SIGGRAPH at SIG
 GRAPH 2006 and suggested starting a full SIGGRAPH Conference in Asia. He w
 as a member of the ad-hoc Task Force formed to investigate this and was a 
 strong voice in the meeting at Graphite 2006 where the Task Force recommen
 ded moving forward. The ACM SIGGRAPH Executive Committee decided to suppor
 t SIGGRAPH Asia, with the first conference being in Singapore in 2008 and 
 YT as the Conference Chair. Before and after this decision, he worked with
  the Singapore government to provide financial support for SIGGRAPH Asia 2
 008. \n\nIn 2009-2010 he served on the SIGGRAPH Asia Conference Advisory G
 roup (SACAG) and served as the Chair of the SACAG 2011-2018, thus shepherd
 ing SIGGRAPH Asia during its early formative years. His experience and adv
 ice were invaluable in helping ACM SIGGRAPH adapt to the conference and vo
 lunteer cultures in Asia.\n\nHe has also served on other ACM SIGGRAPH comm
 ittees, such as the Nominations Committee (2010-2013) and the Internationa
 l Committee, and has mentored student volunteers at both SIGGRAPH and SIGG
 RAPH Asia.\n\nIn all of his service activities, YT has exhibited strong qu
 alities of leadership and expertise. He has a wonderful sense of humor and
  is a pleasure to work with. With this award, ACM SIGGRAPH celebrates Lee 
 Yong Tsui’s many contributions to both SIGGRAPH Asia and to the organizati
 on.\n\nhttps://www.siggraph.org/awards/outstanding-service-award/\n\nRegis
