Dan Parr passed away on September 9, 2009. The GIS community, URISA Members and friends and so many more have lost a treasured friend. As we have been remembering Dan and sharing our favorite “Dan Stories” the common thread we hear is how much he loved his family, Ellen, David and Adam; his quick wit; his sense of humor and optimism; and his deep compassion for those in need.
URISA’s ESIG Awards recognize exceptional achievements in the application of information technology that have improved the delivery and quality of government services. URISA is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s ESIG Awards.
