SRM is Pleased to Announce the Creation of a New Honor Award Category!

The Young Professionals Conclave (YPC) has been working hard the past few years with the Society for Range Management (SRM) Board of Directors and the SRM Awards Committee on a proposal to create a new honor award.    

Currently, the Outstanding Young Range Professional Award (OYRP) allows members to be recognized for their dedication and contributions to the society and profession up to the age of 40 (to allow for career transition).  

For young professionals making the difficult transition from SRM student member to fully-engaged professional members of the society, it often seems there is no place for them to be recognized by the Society, and it is difficult for them to compete directly for the OYRP.  A new award category has been created to directly address this deficiency.  As such, it is designated as the YPC Apprentice Award.  

The YPC Outstanding Apprentice Award has been developed to recognize an individual SRM member who has shown outstanding dedication to the Society within the first five (5) years of their career.  

The primary criterion for this award is meaningful contributions of time and effort to advance the mission of SRM at the national level.  Section level involvement may be considered in addition to, but not at the exclusion of, national level involvement.  Examples of national involvement may include, but is not limited to, committee involvement, special contributions of time and effort to the national SRM meeting, and demonstrated professionalism and potential for long-term leadership in the Society.    

Award recipients must demonstrate a leadership role in successful range management projects. Though early in their careers, award recipients must show demonstrable promise as range management professionals through particular projects or activities with which they have been involved.    

The award recipient must be either an SRM apprentice or regular member for which no more than five years will have passed since the termination of the recipient's educational enrollment.  Special circumstances may be considered.

SRM Student members are not eligible for this award. 

Please submit your nominations for this new award category using the same format for the other awards found on the committee webpage at http://www.rangelands.org/awards/.   

CONGRATULATIONS to the YPC for all their work on this award nomination and to all potential nominees!

ESD Workshop to be Held Tuesday May 20, 2014 in Farson, WY

Drought: In the Life, Cultures, and Landscapes of the Great Plains 

40th Annual Great Plains Symposium

April 1-4, 2014 - Lincoln, Nebraska

REGISTRATION OPEN NOW AT www.unl.edu/plains

Drought, or the ever-present threat of it, has had a pervasive effect on the region and its people.  It molded the region's settlement patterns, agriculture and commerce, stimulated innovation, aroused conflict between agriculturalists and environmentalists, and fueled litigation between states.  Drought shaped how the people of the Great Plains think of themselves and their region and influenced their culture, literature, and art.  Today it raises concern about whether the region will have sufficient water for its future. 

Scientists and scholars from across the full spectrum of disciplines are invited to share their expertise and perspectives as the symposium explores all aspects, causes, impacts, projections, social and cultural consequences, and ramifications of drought.
