This is the third straight year that Divis has won the best correspondent award. In 2012 she also won SPJ-DC Chapter’s highest honor, the Robert D.G. Lewis Watchdog Award.

"Once again we are delighted to see Dee Ann’s well-deserved recognition by her professional peers," said Inside GNSS editor, Glen Gibbons. "Her consistent, careful, and thorough reportage about crucial policy issues affecting the GPS and worldwide GNSS community is one of the cornerstones of Inside GNSS’s editorial coverage."

Here are some of last year’s articles on UAS written by Divis:

"Key Lawmakers Move to Put Privacy Controls in Place for UAVs"

"Special Report: UAS in the NAS"
