IPM Achievement Awards

As we "Transcend Boundaries" for March 2009's International Integrated Pest Management Symposium, we are seeking nominations for the "International IPM Achievement Awards." Individuals or teams who have made significant contributions to the advancement of integrated pest management (IPM) may be nominated. Criteria for nominations must include at least one extraordinary achievement that has increased IPM in agriculture, communities or natural areas. Thus, the context can be agricultural or non-agricultural, such as schools and other institutions, recreational areas, municipalities, and waterways.

The following are some of the activities that meet the nomination criteria:

  • Developing new or improved IPM practices or technologies
  • Implementing and evaluating IPM methods
  • Facilitating or promoting adoption of IPM practices
  • Increasing economic benefits of IPM activities
  • Reducing potential human health risks through IPM
  • Minimize environmental impacts of pest management practices
  • Conducting an effective IPM program
Anyone may nominate another individual or group, and self-nominations will be accepted. Nominations are encouraged to recognize the contributions of growers, consultants, processors, commodity groups, scientists, administrators, municipalities, non-profit organizations, etc. We welcome nominations from the International IPM community.

The awards will be presented during a special ceremony at the International IPM Symposium in Portland, Oregon on March 24-26, 2009.

The deadline for award nominations has passed. Thank you for the excellent nominations. The Awards Committee will be reviewing the nominations and will inform people when decisions are made.
