Distinguished Service Award for Supervision of Instruction
This is the most coveted honor in GACIS and is presented annually at the GACIS Fall Conference. The award is presented to a supervisor in Georgia public education selected for having made the most significant contribution to the field during the preceding year. Each of the 16 GACIS District nominates and honors an instructional leader to receive the GACIS Distinguished Service Award. The recipient receives a plaque, a check for $500, and serves as committee chair on the Board of Directors.
Flanders Scholarship
The $1,000.00 award is given annually to one or more recipients. The number of recipients and the amount of each award are left to the discretion of the Flanders Scholarship Committee. The award goes to a member of GACIS who is pursuing a higher degree in the area of Educational Leadership to be used by the recipient to pay expenses incurred for tuition or books while pursuing the higher degree.
Greg Arnsdorff Memorial Award
The GACIS organization created the Greg Arnsdorff Memorial Award to honor the memory and legacy of past president, Dr. Greg Arnsdorff. Beginning with the Annual Fall Conference in 2023, the Georgia Association of Curriculum and Instructional Supervisors will make an annual Greg Arnsdorff Award to an instructional leader in Georgia public education who has demonstrated the gracious, high-quality mentorship that Dr. Arnsdorff consistently shared with colleagues during his lifetime as an educational leader. The award will consist of a plaque and a monetary award of $1,000.
