NSGIC Service Awards
NSGIC offers four awards, all recognizing 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. NSGIC awards vary by nature, the number given per year, whether the effort is lifetime or focused on the previous year, the relationship of the award winner to NSGIC, and whether the award is typically given at the mid-year meeting or annual conference. No person can receive the same award twice. All awards consist of a plaque mounted on a walnut base and their names preserved on the NSGIC website. Nominations are solicited by the NSGIC Awards Working Group in June and December.
The following table outlines some of the differences among the awards. The award names in this matrix are links to PDF documents giving more detailed information about the award.
