TYPES OF AWARDS

One role ILGISA plays is to formally recognize individuals and groups who have contributed to the betterment of GIS in the State of Illinois.

The Dahlberg Distinguished Achievement Award is presented to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the development and advancement of geographic information systems. Only one such award is made each year; it is possible that no award is presented in a given year.

Two persons received the Distinguished Achievement Award before it was named for Dr. Richard Dahlberg. In fact, Dick Dahlberg was the second person to receive the award. The Award was named for him after his passing in December 1996.

The Service Award is presented to an individual or organization which has provided exemplary professional service or support to the GIS community. No more than three such awards are presented each year.

The Outstanding Student Award is presented to an undergraduate student of any major who has included GIS in their course of study, and has demonstrated exemplary proficiency and understanding of GIS, potential contribution to the GIS Community, and general success in school. No more than five such awards are presented each year. Click here for nomination information.

The Honors Committee solicits names of nominees for awards in a mailing every summer.
