RNASA photo

RNASA was granted permission to release photos of current and former government employees that appear on this Web site, with appropriate credit given. (Photos of government employees must be reviewed and approved by appropriate officials prior to distribution to the news media.) Other approved photos/videos/recording of winners, speakers, and attendees may be found on the Press page. Requests for permission to use additional materials about RNASA events, speakers, or award winners should be directed to Marianne Dyson via dyson@rnasa.org.

Although all RNASA events were photographed, and prints made available to awardees afterwards, only a subset of the originals were catalogued in the JSC archive - mostly images of JSC employees. If you have photos of award winners prior to 2004 that you'd be willing to have copied/scanned for our online archive, please contact Marianne Dyson. Thank you!
