2010 George J Miller Award for Distinguished Service to Geographic Education
The 2010 George J Miller Award Committee invites you to assist in identifying worthy candidates for the highest honor given by the NCGE, the Distinguished Service Award. Criteria are enumerated in the following NCGE Board approved statement: the emphasis needs to be on quality and character of contributions to geographic education, evidence of sustained effort on behalf of geographic education, and, often, the nature and extent of service to the NCGE.

  • Research
  • Papers and publications

  • Lobbying on behalf of geographic education
  • Significant contribution in the training of teachers
  • Development of curriculum materials
  • Service, where appropriate to the NCGE or other professional organizations
  • Administrative activities that involve service to geographic education
