Selections for the Rising Star program are made by INTA committee chairs, vice chairs and staff liaisons who identify honorees within their committees and networks. Criteria include a demonstrated commitment to the IP profession or INTA by exemplifying substantive and dynamic skills through achievements as a speaker, author, project team contributor or committee contributor.
