A special membership category that is reserved for members who have made outstanding contributions to ISBS. The work of the member should have enabled ISBS to further develop and thrive. This work is typically not academic (research-related) and is therefore not covered by other ISBS awards.
Award Criteria:
- The candidate must have been a full member of ISBS for at least ten prior consecutive years (e.g. if applying in the year 2024, the applicant must have been a member during 2014-2023).
- A current full member of ISBS.
- The candidate must have two nominators, one of which must be an officer of ISBS.
- The candidate must have made a significant contribution to ISBS. Suggested categories are listed on page 19 of the Policy Manual for The Vice President of Awards of ISBS.
- The candidate must attend the closing ceremony and closing banquet for that year’s annual conference.
Submission / Nomination Process:
Nominations should include a two-page narrative from both nominators detailing how the candidate has contributed to ISBS. The application should be submitted to the VP of Awards
Deadline:
April 30th
