Library and Archives Canada: Agatha Bystram Award to Canadian
Forces Captain
In recognition of his
outstanding contribution to information resources management,
Library and Archives Canada and the Council of Federal Libraries
have selected Captain Rob Mulholland, a Canadian Forces helicopter
pilot, as winner of the 2003 Agatha Bystram Award for Leadership in
Information Management. The Awards ceremony was held Monday at the
Canadian Museum of Civilization, on the occasion of the Annual Fall
Seminar of the Council of Federal Libraries.
In the past 12 months as project manager, Captain Rob Mulholland
has defined, integrated and managed a critical system that
radically modernizes the delivery of Canada's search and rescue
services.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Captain
Mulholland for his remarkable work," said Roch Carrier, National
Librarian and Chair of the Council of Federal Libraries. "Captain
Mulholland should be congratulated for his dedication and
commitment to integrating and managing this critical system which
will help Canada's search and rescue services save thousands of
lives."
The new Search and Rescue Mission Management system is an
effective and efficient national system that enables the recording
and retrieval of vital information and task-appropriate resources
in life-saving rescue missions. Captain Mulholland's leadership in
blending information management and technology enhances the
real-time communications between a number of government departments
and agencies involved in delivering search and rescue services.
"Captain Mulholland has accomplished an extraordinary task in
defining, integrating and managing a critical system that has
fundamentally modernized the way rescue centres control Canada's
search and rescue services," said Lt.Col. G.Y. Smith, A3 Search and
Rescue Manger, who nominated Captain Mulholland. "His expertise,
insight and outstanding dedication and leadership were demonstrated
in this very important project that has now become the pride of the
search and rescue community across the country."
Competia and Microsoft Canada Inc. are the main sponsors of this
year's Agatha Bystram Award.
