Awards Report: Holt Williamson has worked hard to document the Awards
Criteria guidelines.and categories:
1. The five categories for Outstanding Fisheries
Worker of the Year are Culture, Management,
Research, Education and Special. If no nomina-
tions are received in a specific category before
the specif ic deadline, no award will be given in
that category. If the awards committee does not
feel a suitable recipient was nominated for a
specific category, (although several nominations
may have been submitted), no award will beagiven
for that category.
2. Nominee qualifications. All nominees must be
current members of the Texas Chapter with the
exception of the Special category where a non-
member or member may be nominated. An individ-
ual must have made, in the opinion of the nominator
and the Awards Committee, a substantial contri-
bution in the field of fisheries, in the year
and category for which that individual is
nominated -<an exception being an individual
whose credit rests on an impressive body of
work conducted over an extended period of time.
A qualif ied nominee who has previously been
nominated or received an award, regardless of
category, can still be nominated and selected as
a recipient. Selection is at the discretion of
the Awards Committee. A nominee can receive only
one award per year although he or she may have
received nominations in more than one category.
An individual whose qualifications are substantial
but not easily categorized may be nominated for
the Special Category.
3. Nominator qualify ications. Any member in good
standing may make one or more nominations.
However a nominator cannot nominate the same
individual for different categories or different
individuals for the same category. It is the
nominator's responsibility to provide to the
Awards Committee as much pertinent information
as possible concerning their nominee. Thisincludes the nominee's name, position and title;
business address and name of employer or organi-
zation; why the nominator feels the nominee's
deserving of an award. The last requirement may
include such information as a synopsis of merit-
orious fisheries work i.e. employment in fisheries
and related areas, education, awards, publications,
organizations and any other areas of achievement.
A nomination frm is included at the end of this newsletter.
