Senator David C. Ford Award

This award is presented by the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) to an individual or organization for exemplary service and dedication above and beyond duties for accomplishments in coordinating Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, building partnerships, and advancing the IndianaMap.

The David C. Ford award is not annual or project-based, but a special IGIC award to recognize historic accomplishments and/or lifetime achievements in support of the Council and the greater GIS community of Indiana.

About this Award:

This award is named in honor of Indiana State Senator David C. Ford (1949-2008). Senator Ford was from Hartford City, Indiana and represented District 19 as a four-term lawmaker who served as Assistant Majority Floor Leader and chair of the Senate Committee on Economic Development and Technology.

IGIC owes a debt of gratitude to Senator Ford for his vision and understanding of the potential the IndianaMap holds for Indiana, and for co-sponsoring legislation passed in 2007 to institutionalize its support.

"I will always think that my role in GIS has been one of my proudest contributions to Indiana."

- Senator David Ford, February 22, 2008
