As part of Federation goals to better recognizing the tremendous effort our members put forth to forward the overall work this community does, the Partnership Committee has created two new awards: 
  1. President's Award - This award is proposed to honor an individual who has made the most significant contribution to the Federation in the previous year. This award will be given annually at the ESIP Winter Meeting. The awardee receives a plaque.
     
  2. ESIP of the Year - This award is to honor an ESIP partner organization that best exemplifies the Spirit of ESIP in one or more areas. This award will be given annually at the Winter Meeting. The member organization will receive a plaque.
We will be awarding these along with the Martha Maiden Award at the Winter Meeting. Nominations are due Dec. 1.
