HONORS AND AWARDS 2021 HONORS AND AWARDS
The American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) has a history of effective and outstanding service to the pro- fession of geology. From its beginning in 1963, the Institute has emphasized the role that professional geologists play in this fascinating, changing, and highly complex world in which we live.
In an Institute such as this, there are so many highly moti- vated geologists contributing to the profession, the Institute, the public, and the nations in which we live and work that the identification of a select few for particular awards is a monumental task. The continued success of the Honors and Awards Program is dependent on an accessible nominating process and a diligent screening of those nominated. This is done by the Honors and Awards Committee.
Currently, there are seven honors bestowed by the Institute: Ben H. Parker Memorial Distinguished Service Medal, Martin Van Couvering Memorial Service to the Institute Award, John T. Galey, Sr., Memorial Public Service Medal, Award of Honorary Membership, Outstanding Achievement Award, John Stewart Memorial Early Career Professional Award, and Presidential Certificate of Merit.
