North-Central Section Awards
Professional Award of Merit: The Professional Award of Merit is bestowed by the North Central Section to Society members living in the North Central Section for outstanding professional accomplishments in wildlife conservation. The award is restricted to living conservationists who are or have recently been active within the geographic boundaries of the Section. The award is given only in those years in which a truly deserving candidate is available. No more than one such award is made annually. Criteria for judging the professional accomplishments of nominees include: (1) contribution to knowledge, (2) single outstanding acts, and/or (3) leadership over a period of several years in any area of wildlife work -- for example, research, wildlife law enforcement, management, administration or education -- as evidenced by publications, skillful development and/or application of effective management or educational programs or methods. Nomination Forms are available in .doc, .pdf, and web page formats.
Best Student Presentation and Best Student Poster Awards: The North Central Section of the Wildlife Society conveys awards annually for Best Student Presentation at the Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference. Additionally, when poster presentations are scheduled for the Midwest Conference, the Section bestows a Best Student Poster Award. The Procedures and Guidelines for Judging posters and papers (.doc, .pdf), as well as the example scoring sheets are available for both papers (.doc, .pdf), posters (.doc, .pdf), and a composite (.doc, .pdf).Student
Chapter of the Year Report and Award: The
NCS presents the Student Chapter of the Year award to an outstanding student
chapter each year for its exemplary contributions to the Society’s mission and
goals. The goal of the award is to encourage and recognize exceptional
achievements by Section student chapters.
Active and effective student chapters are needed to achieve The Wildlife
Society’s goals, many of which are best addressed at the state/provincial or
local level. Student chapters also
strengthen the Society’s membership recruitment and retention efforts by providing
opportunities for member involvement in Society activities.
The Student Chapter of the Year award pays tribute to this important
unit of The Wildlife Society.
Student Chapter of the Year Travel Grant: A
travel grant of up to $1,000 will be awarded to the student chapter that is
named the Section’s Student Chapter of the Year.
