He has been a member of the national Awards Committee, Nominating Committee and Jury of Fellows.
In 1994, CSI presented the president’s plaque to Hu for his exceptional work performed on behalf of the Institute. The following year, CSI elevated him to fellowship, one of the institute’s top honors. He founded and published The Fellows newsletter, a publication for CSI fellows, and has been lauded for his work on improving the CSI membership experience.
