[Nhcoll-l] 2024 Spiritus award for excellence in collections accepting nominations

[Katherine Bemis - NOAA Federal]

Dear all,

The Spiritus Award is presented annually by the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH) to recognize excellence in management, curation, or administration of natural history collections of fishes, amphibians, or reptiles is accepting nominations. The award alternates each year between being awarded to an ichthyologist or herpetologist. In 2024, it will be presented to an Ichthyologist.

Nominations should include the name, current address, and recent CV of the nominee, and letter(s) of support expressing the nominee’s qualifications. Nominations for the Spiritus award are effective for three award cycles over a five-year period due to alternation between ichthyologist and herpetologist awardees. Note awardees must be members of ASIH (if nominees’ membership has lapsed, nominators are given the opportunity to resolve).

Nominations for the Spiritus Award should be sent to Katherine Bemis (bemisk at si.edu<mailto:bemisk at si.edu>), Chair of the 2024 Spiritus Committee by 1 March 2024. The full call for nominations is posted here: https://www.asih.org/awards/spiritus-award

Please reach out with any questions!

Kate
