Endorsement and ESIP logo - ongoing discussions ESIP award culture: Award Calendar Draft about Award Culture: ESIP as a Community with an Award Culture, written by Christine White An award culture is a community that notices and promotes the good work of others. Because promoting the good work of others takes time and practice, becoming an award culture is a process and not a destination. Sending a letter of introduction, filling out an award application, or even writing an authentic “Thank you” letter can be inconvenient. Yet doing so builds up the positive mindset and reputation of our colleagues and our field, adding to the strength required to work on the challenges of our day. ESIP’s values – openness, participation, inclusiveness, and innovation - are about supporting one another and growing together. Experienced professionals are often good at calling attention to their own contributions. Early and mid-career professionals sometimes need encouragement to do this. Being an award culture means holding up contributions from all types of professionals, giving them place and permission to offer their whole multi-faceted selves and even self-nominate to share their achievements. And finally, award culture can include helping others – or oneself – attain actual awards. As you know, ESIP’s Program Committee has an Award Calendar for ESIP members to access and add award opportunities as we all become aware of them.
