(Posted by Ben Douglas <hj7...@msn.com> via moumn.org) Now is the time to recognize your birding hero/mentor/inspiration by nominating them for an MOU Award, to be presented at this yearâs MOU Paper Session in December. If you added a rare bird to your life or state list this year or learned something from a new journal article or research project, consider writing a nomination for the Brother Theodore Voelker Award.
If you know someone who has devoted many volunteer hours to help birds or birders this year, consider nominating that person for the Volunteer of the Year Award. Do you know a young birder whose involvement in birding and bird-related organizations stands out? Consider nominating that person for the Young Birder Award. How about the birder who youâve admired for years, who perhaps mentored you, who has made a name for themself in bird-related endeavors? Consider nominating that person for the Thomas S. Roberts Award. You will find full descriptions of the MOU awards and the names of all previous award recipients on the MOU website at http://moumn.org/awards.html Making a nomination is simple. Just provide the MOU Awards Committee with a description of the qualifications and contributions that you believe makes your nominee a worthy recipient of an award. Nominees do not have to be members of the MOU. Nominations are due by October 21st, and should be sent to Awards Committee Chair, Liz Harper: awa...@moumn.org The MOU and the Awards Committee thank you in advance for your interest and input in these Awards. Without your nominations, we are not able to give recognition to the great achievements of our fellow birders. ---- General information and guidelines for posting: https://moumn.org/listservice.html Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
