Description
The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) Fellow Award recognizes active members for significant, meritorious contributions to weed science and the Society. It honors an established record of achievement and leadership rather than supporting a proposed research project. Contributions must span more than one area, including publications, education, improvements to weed science programs, practices or products, and professional service.
Administered through WSSA’s awards program and a dedicated Fellow Award subcommittee, the honor emphasizes contributions that distinguish a nominee as a national or international leader, beyond outstanding performance within an organization or region. The 2027 awards will be presented at WSSA’s annual meeting in Denver, Colorado.
