This award is named in honor of Dr. John D. Reynolds who was the inaugural award recipient at the 21st annual CSI meeting in 2008. For over 20 years John Reynolds served the CSI in multiple capacities including as Councilor and President. But what the CSI honors him for most is his developing, building, and managing of CSI's first WEB site. John's creative computer leadership led the CSI into the 21st Century in Conference and Membership management long before such usage was common. His volunteer service pushed the CSI to the forefront Internationally.
This John D. Reynolds award is given for a long term member of the CSI for their exceptional service to CSI. The award can be, but is not necessarily, given each year. The nominator should send a letter of rationale/support summarizing the service to the CSI. The award includes a $2,000 travel reimbursement to be used by the awardee and as many trainees as they wish to include to the present CSI annual meeting or within two years of award receipt.
