Nickerson Award

The Nickerson Service Award was established by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on February 3, 1980. This award is presented as the occasion arises but no more frequently than once a year. The Nickerson Service Award is presented for outstanding, long-term contributions towards the advancement of the Council and its aims and purposes. The contribution may be in the form of organizational, clerical, technical or other services that benefit the Council and its members. The candidates must be members of the Council and must have been active in the affairs of the Council.

We have consolidated the award nomination forms into a single document. Download it, print, and send to the ISCC office (details are on the form). Or you can scan the form and email it to us. We hope to get an online form enabled soon.
