Awards
The USGIF sponsors three Awards Programs to recognize influential and innovative members of the geospatial intelligence community.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented, upon selection by the USGIF board, to an influential member of the geospatial intelligence community for his or her extended commitment and dedication to the geospatial-intelligence tradecraft.

The annual Geospatial Academic Achievement Award commends the achievements of the top graduate of a nationally recognized geospatial-intelligence academic program as well as the organization that demonstrates the top geospatial intelligence research program or project.

The Geospatial Intelligence Achievement Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the tradecraft by an individual or team from each of three sectors: government, industry, and military.
