VAL ANDRES AWARD

GMIS Illinois was founded in 1988 by Ms. Val Andres, an Information Technologies professional.  Ms. Andres' inspiration was to create and foster a group of technology professionals from within the public sector wherein project concepts could be openly shared.

In 2006 the Val Andres Award was established and awarded to Val on behalf of her unwavering and continuing dedication to the organization and now the award is given annually in her honor.

Every year, just prior to the annual GIANTS conference, a committee chaired by Val Andres and comprised of former award recipients selects a member of the GMIS Illinois organization for this award.  Recipients are chosen based on their spirit, dedication and significant contribution to GMIS Illinois.  In addition to the recognition, the award comes with a $500 scholarship that GMIS Illinois will pay toward a conference or training for the recipient.
