NSGIC Service Awards

NSGIC offers service awards, that recognize high levels of effort and success in moving the NSDI forward in ways that serve the greater community, not just the home organization of an award winner. No person can receive the same award twice. Nominations are solicited by the NSGIC Awards Work Group beginning in June to prepare for presentations at the Annual Conference.

NSGIC's Outstanding Service Awards have been given every year since 1995. The NSGIC Lifetime Service Award, first given in 2003, is awarded at the end of a distinguished career of service to NSGIC. The list below contains the names of all award winners and includes recipients of award categories that NSGIC has sunset.
