2009 Award for Excellence in Government Information Services
A sustained spirit of collaboration and volunteerism underlies the success of The New York State Forum. Each year, The NYS Forum Executive Council recognizes the essential value of volunteer effort with an Award for Excellence in Government Information Services given at the Annual Meeting. Last year's recipient was Robert Freeman, of the NYS Committee on Open Government. Any NYS Forum member may be nominated. Letters of nomination should describe the nature of the nominee's contribution and how his or her activities have benefited another agency, The Forum membership, or government generally.
Evaluation Criteria:
- degree to which the contribution reaches beyond the boundaries of the nominee's own organization,
- actual benefit produced, and
- potential for future benefits to be built on the basis of the nominee's achievement.
Nominations for Award for Excellence must be received no later than August 10, 2009.
Nominations can only be submitted online at www.nysforum.org/awards/2009/gisform.aspx.
