Jackson Award

Nominations for the Hartley H. T. Jackson Award

The Hartley H. T. Jackson Award was established in 1977 by the Board of Directors of the American Society of Mammalogists to honor individuals with a long and outstanding record of service to mammalogy and the Society.  Nominees should have some combination of extensive service 1) in governance of the Society; 2) on special projects of the Society; 3) as editors (e.g., journal, associate, or other editors) of Journal of Mammalogy or Mammalian Species; or 4) on multiple committees of the Society (order of list does not imply importance).

Candidates may be nominated by any member who is familiar with the candidate’s service to the Society and mammalogy in general.  A letter of nomination (maximum length of 2 pages) should detail the candidate’s extensive service and should elaborate the reasons why this individual should be considered for the award.  The single letter of nomination and a curriculum vita should be sent to Glennis A. Kaufman (e-mail:  gkaufman@k-state.edu) before 1 February.  If the nominated candidate is judged competitive by the Jackson Committee, the nominator will be asked to send a complete nomination packet (nominating letter, curriculum vita, and up to 4 additional letters of support incorporated into a single PDF).  The nominator should send the PDF to Glennis Kaufman by 15 March.  The Committee then will review the completed nomination packets of all candidates.  The recipient will be announced at the banquet of the annual meeting of the Society.  Nominations are not retained from previous years.
