phy" document was published in PE&RS for review and comment by the ASPRS membership. Following evalua- tion of all comments, PPD will revise the draft document and publish the guidelines as an ASPRS publication. ASPRS, as a result of a PPD initiative, is sponsoring “First- Time Conference Attenders" receptions at the annual and GIS/LIS conferences. These events enable the officers and board members of ASPRS to meet and to welcome those attending conventions for the first time, and to encourage membership and participation in ASPRS technical division and committee activities. The new PPD Legal and Ethical Committec, was formed to provide a focus and mechanism for dealing with legal and/ or ethical issues that arise within ASPRS. To date, the committee has addressed two requests from ASPRS mem- bers for amicus curiae letters. Another new ASPRS committee has been formed to deal with public relations issues. The committee plans to pro- vide ASPRS a venue for participation by members in increasing the visibility of the Society within the commu- nity at large. PPD developed federal job classification standards for the GIS and the remote sensing specialties in cooperation with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. These standards were undergoing review when the National Performance Review reinvented the personnel management system of the U.S. Government, eliminating the opportunity to create new job series. PPD developed a draft Guidelines for Federal Procurement of A&E Services for Photogrammetric and Cartographic Work. The draft guidelines were reviewed by the member- ship but further work halted due to conflicting priorities. The future emphasis of PPD activities will focus on the certification programs, the written examination for photo- grammetrists, national and international standards, legal and ethical issues, technical program sponsorship, and other initiatives that contribute to the continued well-being of the ASPRS membership with respect to professional practice. : - The Scholarship Committee oversees the large ASPRS scholarship program, with a history that extends over most of the Society’s 62 years of existence. Investments in the outstanding students of today are one of the ways the Society supports development and future growth in both the Society itself and its members. Currently ASPRS offers 5 annual awards: Robert E. Altenhofen Memorial Scholarship - To encourage and commend students who display excep- tional interest and ability in the theoretical aspects of photogrammetry. EOSAT Award for Applications of Digital Landsat TM Data - To support remote sensing education and 98 International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996 stimulate the development of applications of digital Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data. William A. Fischer Memorial Scholarship Award - To facilitate graduate-level studies and career goals that address new and innovative uses of remote sensing techniques that relate to natural, cultural, or agri- cultural resources of the Earth. Leica Inc. Photogrammetric Fellowship Award - To encourage and assist graduate and undergraduate stu- dents to pursue education in photogrammetry or sur- veying and promote the development of photogram- metric sciences. Ta Liang Memorial Award - To facilitate research- related travel for an outstanding graduate student in remote sensing. - In 1994 the ASPRS made a decision to adopt state-of-the art information technology by connecting its headquarters office to the Internet. Connectivity was implemented early in 1995, with capability for electronic mail and text-only browsing. All headquarters staff were given e-mail and Internet training. Later in 1995 the headquarters office upgraded to multimedia browsing and a faster data connec- tion. Early in 1995 the need was recognized for the creation of an Electronic Communications Committee (ECC). Its first meeting took place at the 1995 Annual Convention. By late 1995 the ASPRS home page «http://www.asprs.org/ asprs> had become completely operational and was moved to an Internet provider local to the ASPRS headquarters office. Currently the ECC is coordinating efforts. with ASPRS staff for maintenance and expansion of the home page, encouraging the development of home pages for each ASPRS region, and developing a procedure for electronic publishing of PE&RS award-winning papers. A home page editor position has been established to provide oversight, develop home page guidelines, and to interface with the PE&RS editor. - Twenty one years ago the ASPRS established a Certified Photogrammetrist Program. After 16 years of successful program application, it was modified to require recertifica- tion of certified persons every five years to assure profi- ciency with modern standards and also established two Certified Mapping Scientist categories - the Remote Sens- ing Scientist and the GIS/LIS Scientist. The main responsi- bilities are: evaluate applicants and recommend appropri- ate actions; maintain integrity of the program by assuring evaluations are performed according to standards; continu- ously evaluate the program to assure the requirements for certification are adequate to assure protection of the health and welfare of the public; and in cooperation with the Professional Practice Division, study the needs nationwide for certification and possible registration by States and other governing bodies and assist them in their programs. The program is a voluntary one available to all in the profession. It has made great strides in the U.S. and in other countries. Its popularity stems from the fact that users of the cer me tha AS by the GP for tec cat me: Ov ach bot of pro the req clu Of ç dire thos orbi arez the mer tion The fron exe the and imp elim and phoi elim to be
