Awards Program

GLSPS Awards Program Purpose

As a voice in the Midwest preservation and diving community, the GLSPS seeks to acknowledge and express their gratitude to individuals, organizations, and businesses who have contributed to the improvement of our environment and exemplify GLSPS ideals and ethics.
 
To honor these contributors, GLSPS has created three categories of awards differing in what contributions they acknowledge and the process for nominating recipients for the award.
 

GLSPS Appreciation Award

  – Nomination can be made by any current GLSPS member.
 

Dive Community Contribution Award

  – Awarded to any individual, organization, or business for exceptional service to the dive community or for going beyond the call of duty to do something that benefits the upper Midwest scuba diving community.
  – Nomination can be made by any member of the community.
 

C. Patrick Labadie Special Acknowledgment Award

  – Awarded to any individual, organization, or business that has made exceptional contributions to the upper Midwest preservation, history, or dive community.
