This year's award ceremony will recognize Scott Keeter’s extraordinary impact on public opinion research over several decades. He made his mark in the field in many ways -- as a scholar, a practitioner, a teacher, and a servant of the profession, operating in each of these roles with remarkable dedication and skill. This alone would set him apart, but he is also an exceptional human being, acting with kindness, modesty, compassion, and a gentle sense of humor in every situation.
