2024 Kansas Ornithological Society
Dr. Ivan L. Boyd Recognition Award
The
Boyd Award is given to a member(s) of the Kansas Ornithological Society (KOS),
usually each year, for outstanding contributions and service to the society. The
Boyd Award is in recognition of the contributions of Dr. Ivan Boyd who was a KOS
Founder, Charter Member, and the first president of KOS. He was also a Bulletin
Editor and helped start the Baldwin Christmas Bird Count in 1942, which is the
longest continuously running CBC in the state.
Nominations should provide a list of the nominee's contributions to KOS.
Contributions could include such things as number and years of offices held,
committee involvement, papers presented at KOS, papers published in the Bulletin
or Horned Lark, number of CBC's compiled, and years of membership; this is not
an exclusive list and other contributions to the society may be provided.
Current KOS Board members are not eligible to receive an award. The Board may
select more than one recipient each year or may choose not to name a recipient
in a given year.
NOMINATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL AUGUST 1ST.
