The award recognizes seminal contributions to research, theory development, and practice in Information Systems. Like its namesake, the Lyons Electronic Office, the world’s first commercial applications of computing, these outstanding scholars/practitioners are pioneers, extending knowledge and insight. The contributions of the Award winners have been sustained throughout their careers. They have made exceptional global contributions in the field of Information Systems and are regarded as important representatives of their national or regional Information Systems Community. LEO Award winners are role models. They inspire colleagues and students within the Information Systems field. They command the respect of individuals from outside the field because their contributions also have had an impact in fields other than Information Systems. LEO Award winners are recognized for exemplary professional and personal integrity. The Award Process On 1 May each year, the LEO Awards Committee issues a widespread call among members of the Information Systems community for nominations for the Award. Nominations close on 1 August. The Award is open to all members of the Information Systems community and those who have contributed to the field, both academics and practitioners. Nominations can be posthumous. The Committee will determine the recipients of the Award by 1 October. LEO Awards will be presented at the International Conference on Information Systems.

Its mission is to advance knowledge of how to employ information technology to improve both organizational performance and individual quality of work life. AIS strives to create and maintain a professional identity for IS educators, researchers, and professionals; create a vision for the future of the IS field and profession; promote communications and interaction among its members; provide a focal point for contact and relations with bodies in government, the private sector, and education that influence and/or control research and education in information systems; improve curricula, pedagogy, and other aspects of IS education; create and implement a modern, technologically sophisticated professional society; establish standards of practice, ethics, and education where appropriate; and further establish the credibility of the field. AIS maintains an aggressive agenda. To foster cooperation and sharing of new developments in research and education in IT, AIS provides its members with electronic journals and communication facilities, the opportunity to attend conferences and doctoral consortia, the opportunity to subscribe to major IS journals at minimal cost, and the opportunity to cooperate with members of related societies. It co-sponsors IS model curriculum development. AIS aims to stimulate high quality teaching and research and to promote high professional standards. Examples of AIS services include the ISWorld Net (http://www.isworld.org/ isworld/), with a variety of services and information sources; the IS Faculty Directory (enter or update your information online at http://www.isfacdir.org/); electronic journals (Communications of the AIS at http://cais.aisnet.org/ and Journal of the AIS at http://jais.isworld.org/). AIS supports three regional conferences: ECIS (European Conference on Information Systems), AMCIS (Americas Conference on Information Systems) and PACIS (Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems). AIS provides support for doctoral consortia at ICIS and the regional conferences.

Under that grant, he conceived of, designed, and obtained approval for a then-unique double-degree program—MBA and MS in IS. He also redesigned and reinvigorated the Katz School’s Ph.D. program and, in cooperation with other schools of the university, created a Telecommunications graduate program. Bill created the concept and a workable methodology for strategic planning for IS in the early 1970s; when IBM picked up his ideas and incorporated them into its Business Systems Planning (BSP) methodology, they were applied in firms across the globe. Currently, his research is primarily in knowledge management and IT outsourcing as well as the areas of strategic IS planning and IS evaluation in which he was a pioneer. He first became interested in computers as an undergraduate, programming in the “naughts and crosses” (machine language) and was one of those people at several universities who, in the 1960s, created the academic field that has come to be called Information Systems. Bill has been married to Fay for 46 years and has three children and five grandchildren. In 2004, he returned to work after recovering from three major surgeries, two of which were liver transplants. He has expressed deep gratitude for the Leo but is somewhat concerned that a “lifetime achievement” award will be taken as the capstone of his career. He expresses the hope and belief that he will continue to contribute to IS for many years. -14- -3- Hugh Watson Hugh Watson is Professor of MIS in the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia and holder of a C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry Chair of Business Administration. He is a leading scholar and authority on decision support, having authored 22 books and over 100 scholarly articles in journals such as MIS Quarterly, Journal of MIS, Management Science, and the Academy of Management Journal. Hugh helped develop the conceptual foundation for decision support systems in the 1970s, researched the development and implementation of executive information systems in the 1980s, and, most recently, specializes in data warehousing. Hugh is active in AIS. He served on the organizing committee for AIS, was program chair for the first AMCIS, was elected as an AIS Americas Region Council Member, and serves on the CAIS Advisory Board. Hugh is a Fellow of The Data Warehousing Institute and is the Senior Editor of the Business Intelligence Journal. He is also the Senior Director of the Teradata University Network, a free portal for faculty who teach and research data warehousing, BI/DSS, and database. For the past 17 years, Hugh has been the consulting editor for John Wiley & Sons’ MIS series. Rob spent his career formulating the grounds of a new research speciality that combined insights from computer science engineering, information systems design, and the social sciences. His prodigious corpus of research is an extended exploration of the character of ICTs. Since the early 1970s, he was a leading expert on the study of social informatics, which investigates aspects of computerization, the roles of information technology in social and organizational change, and the ways that the social organization of IT is influenced by social forces and social practices. His research interests were wide-ranging. He studied how intensive computerization transforms work practices and how computerization entails many social choices. He early observed that complex information and expert systems are integrated into the social life of organizations and conducted studies in numerous kinds of environments, including local, state, and national governments, insurance companies, pharmaceutical firms, law offices, and high-tech manufacturing. He provided us with the conceptual underpinnings that illuminate the complex and contextually embedded nature of socio-technical networks and the interactions between ICTs and social structures that shape how people use technology. His most recent research examined electronic publishing, digital libraries, professional communities, and scientific collaboration. In addition to his scholarly work, he wrote textbooks to introduce students to social informatics and published articles on the challenges of teaching the social uses of computing. He was among the first to recognize the political character of computerization. He wrote extensively about value conflicts and social choices and advocated that social values be incorporated in the design of computer-based information systems and in the computer science, information science, management of information systems, and informatics curriculum. He lobbied for changes in public policy and made the debates about computerization come alive in the classroom. Rob’s contributions were recognized by awards and recognitions. He received the Silver Core Award from the International Federation of Information Processing Societies in1983 and a Professional Service Award from the Association of Computing Machinery in 1984. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Free University of Brussels in 1987. He became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2001. In 2003, received the Award for Excellence from the Literati Club of Emerald Publishers for his article, “A Critical Professional Education about Information and Communication Technologies and Social Life,”published in the journal Information Technology & People, as well as being named an AIS Fellow. In 2004, he received the Best Paper Award for his coauthored article, “Reconceptualizing Users as Social Actors in Information Systems Research,” published in MIS Quarterly. Most recently, he has been honored by Indiana University with the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics. Rob Kling had a far-reaching impact on the professional worlds of social informatics and information technology. His great legacy is to his colleagues and the generations of students he introduced to social informatics, those whom he inspired, nurtured, mentored, collaborated with, and to whom he communicated his deep engagement with intellectual life and the world and his commitment to an ethical and moral life. We miss him terribly. -12- -5- Daniel Robey Daniel Robey is Professor and John B.
