<hr>
The International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment was first convened
in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1962 by the Willow Run Laboratories of the University
of Michigan. The Symposium brought together scientists from around the world
to exchange technical information on an emerging technology called remote
sensing, a technology which provided the capability of viewing the Earth
from high-altitude aircraft, and which could ultimately be adapted to spacecraft.
Since that meeting in 1962, twenty four additional symposia were convened
at various venues throughout the world by Willow Run Laboratories and its
successor organization, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan
(ERIM). In 1994, ERIM, in consolation with an international advisory committee,
elected to foster the establishment of an independent non-profit corporation
for the specific purpose of convening the symposia every two years. The
organization was incorporated in the state of Maryland in March 1995 as
the International Symposia on Remote Sensing of Environment, Incorporated
(ISRSE). In 1996, ISRSE was approved by the US Internal Revenue Service
as a non-profit educational institution under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code. William Brown, Robert Miller, and Jim Weber were
named Directors of ISRSE. Jim Weber was named President and Chief Executive
Officer of the corporation, responsible and liable for all activities carried
out by the corporation. In August of 1998, the ISRSE was renamed the International
Center for Remote Sensing of Environment (ICRSE) to reflect the addition
of the Remote Sensing Core Curriculum (RSCC) and other remote sensing activities
to the corporation. Timothy Foresman was elected to the Board of Directors
of ICRSE. The Center was then located on the University of Maryland Baltimore
County south campus. The Center was located on the University of Maryland
Baltimore County south campus.The Center, under the direction of the Board
of Directors, continues as the legal entity of the corporation, responsible
and liable for all activities carried out by the corporation. The Symposia
series continues to be guided by an international executive committee comprised
of experts in the field of remote sensing. In January of 2000, the Center
signed a Letter of Intent with the International Society of Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) to strengthen cooperation and coordination (Attachment
1) and in July of 2000 the General Assembly of ISPRA approved the Installation
of the executive committee to the ISPRS Council. Alexander Tuyanhov serves
as Chairman of ICORSE. (Attachment 2) In October of 2000, Charles Hutchinson
was elected to the Board of Directors and was appointed President and CEO
of ICRSE. Jim Weber was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors approved the location of ICRSE headquarters in Columbia,
MD, with the secretariat of ISRSE to be located in Tucson, AZ (Attachment
3). The Tucson office will be dedicated to ISRSE. All corporate matters,
as well as any other activities not associated with ISRSE will be dealt
with by the Columbia office. Each office will maintain a separate overhead,
accounting system, and bank account. The Columbia Office will provide an
annual accounting and tax statement for all ICRSE activities, including
ISRSE, to the Board of Directors. The Tucson office will provide an annual
accounting of all ISRSE revenues and expenditures to ICORSE as well as to
the ICRSE Board of Directors.
