ASPRS presented the 2004 Fellow Awards at their recent Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado. The winners are Amelia Marie Budge, Clive Fraser, Paul F. Hopkins (1955-2003) and Elias Johnson. The ASPRS designation of Fellow is conferred on active Society members who have performed exceptional service in advancing the science and use of the mapping sciences (photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying, geographic information systems, and related disciplines). These awards were given at the ASPRS 2004 Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado in May. The designation of Fellow is awarded for professional excellence and for service to the Society. Candidates are nominated by other active members, recommended to the Fellows Committee, and elected by the ASPRS Board of Directors. Up to 0.3 percent of the Society's active members may be elected as Fellows in any one year. The nominee must have made outstanding contributions in a recognized Society specialization whether in practice, research, development, administration, or education in the mapping sciences. Members of the Fellows Committee and the Executive Committee are ineligible for nomination.

Amelia (Amy) Budge graduated from the University of New Mexico (UNM) Department of Geography in 1975 with a BA degree, taking a position as a customer service representative at UNM's Earth Data Analysis Center (EDAC), Photo Dissemination Program. As manager of the Program grew it from a modest self-supporting function into an internationally recognized active archive for Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, Space Shuttle (STS), and historical aerial photography. As manager of EDAC's Clearinghouse Services during the 1980s and 1990s she inaugurated strategic and tactical improvements in the scope of activities and range of services that have become standard practices in several federal, state, and privately operated active archives for imagery and maps.
