GSDI Global Citizen Award

Nominations are accepted prior to each major global conference of the GSDI Association. The nominations letter should describe explicitly and in detail how the nominee meets the criteria. No specified format is required. Please send your letters of nomination on or before 21st May 2010 to Harlan J. Onsrud, executive director, GSDI Association with a copy to Abbas Rajabifard, president, GSDI Association. Expect a confirmation of receipt within two days.

The sole recipient, if any, is selected by past recipients of the award and the GSDI Association executive committee which consists of the past president, president, and president-elect. The goal is to honour persons who contribute laudably as citizens of the world both for their profession and society.

A plaque is awarded at the global GSDI conference, the recipient is invited to present a vision speech to the plenary audience, and is permanently recognised on the Association's Global Citizen Award website, and the recipient receives a lifetime membership in the International Geospatial Society. The recipient must be present at the ceremony to accept the award or no award shall be presented.
