119 awards, only 3 awards are based on some technical role.

White Hat Helper, Black Hat, and Jailbreak Phreak.

Does it make sense to a few other IT related awards to signify a skillset?

A few that come to mind would be Network Guru, Forensic Investigator, Offensive Security Researcher, Threat Hunter, etc for those who've demonstrated expertise and proven their knowledge around those fields for that status.

As someone who has written exploits on the fly, demonstrated knowledge of offensive simulation in controller and uncontrolled environments, contributed heavily to the penetration testing community, it makes sense that certain efforts are recognized!

I noticed a lot of other awards add personality to a member which is great as well, but I was more keen on working for an award that relates to infosec.

Suppose that's a fair enough point. I'll have to think about it.

That's actually very interesting.

Nice suggestion. these awards may also give some level of authenticity.

May actually buy a few if such a thing comes out.

Hopefully these awards can be earned via demonstrated skillset whether they be knowledge transfers or consistent activity that shows proficiency in an area instead of being bought. (I think we have quite a bit of donation related awards).

- Offensive Security Researcher
- Threat Hunter
Digital Forensics Investigator
- Network Guru
Just a few ideas.

I think the whole point of this suggestion is that there is too much to buy already.

And now I remember why we don't have those awards. Not going to do any such things.
