Welcome to the HGS Awards Committee

The Awards Committee recommends candidates and chooses recipients for all awards established by the Executive Board.

These HGS awards are Honorary Life Membership, Distinguished Service and President's Awards, Earth Science Teacher Award, Outstanding Student Awards, Best Paper Award, and Student Poster Awards. The Awards Committee is also responsible for nominating qualified candidates to the Executive Board for various GCAGS and MPG awards. The Awards Committee chairman is a member of the HGS Foundation, which grants scholarships to undergraduate students. The Committee is also responsible for supplying appropriate mementos of appreciation to speakers at Society meetings.

In addition, the Awards Committee provides judges for non-HGS events such as the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston and the Science Olympiad.
