Ellis Receives GIA Award
Brook Ellis, the Gemological Institute of America's (GIA) vice president of education, has been given the 2007 Distance Education and Training Council's (DETC) Distinguished Service Award.
Brook Ellis (left) received the 2007 Distinguished Service Award from Mike Lambert, DETC executive director.
According to the DETC, the award is one of the highest and most coveted awards in distance education worldwide. It is given to individuals in the distance-education field for outstanding service that has enhanced the image of distance education or significantly furthered the work of the DETC.
Ellis has held his position with the GIA since 1996 and served on its board of governors from 1983-1995. He is a past director of the American Gem Society (AGS) and chairperson of the AGS's Examination Committee. In addition, he was formerly vice president of fine jewelry for Henry Birks and Son Ltd. in Canada.
"Brook Ellis is deeply respected and admired in the distance-education field, and GIA's global reputation for the highest academic quality in the distance-education community is legendary," DETC Executive Director Michael P. Lambert said in a statement. "Quality is not an accident. Ellis and the GIA team are thoughtful, accomplished leaders in our profession."
In awarding Ellis the plaque, Marie Sirney, chairman of the DETC Awards Committee and executive vice president of the American Graduate University, said, "The members of the DETC know Brook's position at GIA requires a great deal of responsibility and hours of international travel, yet he still devotes an enormous amount of his personal time to the DETC. It's a great pleasure to award this distinguished service award to Brookâhis outstanding support for distance education has more than earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues."
