Recently the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) announced it has elected 111 members and 22 international members. Several individuals involved with CCC were among those elected:

Klara Nahrstedt, Grainger Distinguished Chair, Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Former CCC Council and Executive Committee Member
For contributions to managing quality of service in distributed multimedia systems and networks. 

Manuela M. Veloso, head, Artificial Intelligence Research, JPMorgan Chase & Co., New York City.
Former CCC Council Member and CRA-W Board Member
For contributions to machine learning and its applications in robotics and the financial services industry.

Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature” and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.”

There were also a number of new members that are affiliated with the Computing research Association, see their names here. Congratulations to all members of the computing community who were recognized. A complete list and additional details can be accessed from the NAE website here.
