for the two ICID's Awards but to be conferred only to "Young Professionals"

BEST PERFORMING NATIONAL COMMITTEE
ICID has instituted a new Award to recognize the best performing ICID
National Committee. The Award will be presented in the form of Revolving
Shield and a Citation Plaque at every Congress triennially based on various
facets demonstrated by the participating National Committees between two
ICID Congresses over a three year period. The Revolving Shield will move
to the next award winner every three years with an inscription about the
past winner. The Citation Plaque will remain with the award winning National
Committee. The first award has been presented at the time of 18th ICID
Congress, Montreal in July 2002 to Korean National Committee (KCID) for
its outstanding achievements and contribution to ICID activities in the
years 1999 to 2002.
