Recognising and supporting our colleagues

摘要

One of the pleasures of belonging to a scientific society is being able to acknowledge publically our colleagues who have made outstanding scientific contributions or who have unselfishly served the society. An ISHS Fellow is a member who has made anoutstanding contribution to horticultural science worldwide and an ISHS Honorary Member has given exceptional service to the Society over many years and by undertaking many different roles. Examples of service to ISHS include being a symposium convener,being involved in organising symposia and congresses, editing Acta Horticulturae, and serving on the ISHS Council, Executive Committee and/or Board. Many of these activities involve significant time commitments, which impose on their personal life, yet some people carry out these functions voluntarily over a long career. ISHS members who you consider meet either of these criteria can be nominated for one of these awards, and the Awards Committee will evaluate each individual nominee independently on whether he/she meets the required standard.
