Eastern Branch Distinguished Achievement Awards

Eastern Branch Distinguished Achievement in Teaching and
Eastern Branch Distinguished Achievement in Extension


The Eastern Branch Screening Committee for Entomological Society of America Awards accepts nominations from Branch members of entomologists to be honored for National-level awards for outstanding contributions in the areas of entomology teaching and extension.

The top nominee for each category selected by the Committee is recognized at the Eastern Branch meeting; nomination packages are then forwarded to the National office to be considered for the Society–level awards given at the Entomological Society of America’s Annual Meeting. 

The Screening Committee for ESA Awards is charged with promoting participation in the awards process, including soliciting names and selecting top candidates to forward to the National office for each award category. The committee asks for member assistance in this regard. The Eastern Branch membership has many outstanding scientists who are well qualified for these awards and member nominations will help to recognize them for their contributions and achievements. Nominations for the two DAA awards must be made through the Eastern Branch.

Nomination documentation MUST be prepared according to the respective formats in the ESA webpage on Awards, Honors, Grants, and Scholarships. This information can be obtained from the ESA website: http://www.entsoc.org/awards/whats_available

Specific information on each award and submission requirements can be found at:
Extension: http://www.entsoc.org/awards/professional/extension
Teaching: http://www.entsoc.org/awards/professional/teaching

The entire nomination packet MUST be in electronic format, preferably as a PDF file, and submitted through the website. 

Please contact the Eastern Branch Screening Committee for ESA Awards for specific questions regarding the nomination/selection procedure for these awards in our branch.
