Statement is limited to two pages and describes the nominee's 
achievements in the development of an outstanding, innovative, and

    The Doug D. Nebert NSDI Champion of the Year Award honors a 
respected colleague, technical visionary, and recognized U.S. national 
leader in the establishment of spatial data infrastructures that 
significantly enhance the understanding of our physical and cultural 
world. The award is sponsored by the Federal Geographic Data Committee 
(FGDC) and its purpose is to recognize an individual or a team

has developed an outstanding, innovative, and operational tool, 
application, or service capability used by multiple organizations that 
furthers the vision of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI).
