Technology Achievement Awards
The FLGISA Technology Achievement Award program is an award presented by the FLGISA President, with the advice and consent of the Board of Directors at the annual meeting during the last year of the President’s tenure in office. The purpose of this award is to recognize both leadership (technical and/or organizational) and innovation in a community within the FLGISA membership. The FLGISA Technology Achievement Award is awarded every two years.
The 2020 Technology Achievement Award winners will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
