In early December the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) and the ASPRS Foundation received an individual donation with a value of $90,000 to endow a new Outstanding Technical Achievement Award. The Award will be administered through ASPRS and funded by the ASPRS Foundation. In accordance with the wishes of the donor who is a longtime ASPRS member this donation was made anonymously. ASPRS has agreed to match $35,000 of the donation in accordance with its current matching policy for a total of approximately $125,000. The result of the match ensures that the Award will be fully endowed at the $5000 per annual award level.
