The first International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment was first convened in 1962 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was hosted 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, ultimately, spacecraft. Since that meeting in 1962, twenty-four additional symposia were convened at various venues around the world by Willow Run Laboratories and its successor organization, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM).</P>
<P align=justified>
In 1994, ERIM, in consultation 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. That organization was incorporated in the state of Maryland in March of 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, Roberta Miller, and Jim Weber were named Directors of ISRSE. Jim Weber was named President and Chief Executive Officer of the corporation.</P>
<P align=justified>
In August of 1998, the ISRSE was renamed the International Center for Remote Sensing of Environment (ICRSE) to reflect the Center�s involvement in other remote sensing activities outside the Symposium. 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, 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.</P>
<P align=justified>
The Symposia series continues to be guided by an international executive committee comprised of experts in the field of remote sensing who represent most of the world�s national space agencies. 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 and in July of 2000 the General Assembly of ISPRS approved the Installation of the executive committee as the International Committee on Remote Sensing of Environment (ICORSE) of ISPRS. In addition to its role in providing policy and programmatic guidance to ISRSE, ICORSE will serve as a standing advisory committee to the ISPRS Council. Alexander Tuyahov serves as Chairmen of ICORSE.</P>

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 base of operations for the Center and the Symposium was moved to Tucson, Arizona.
