The CIPS Hall of Fame was created in 1997 to honour those people who have made an outstanding contribution to CIPS and the Canadian IT Profession as a whole. This is a first class group of individuals and corporations who must be recognized for all of the extra time, energy and commitment they have devoted to their profession.
