Extension Distinction Award Committee
This committee’s charge is to review nominated individuals for the ASEV Extension Distinction Award. There are often two or more meetings held by conference call (November – January) to discuss and choose potential winners. The ASEV Board of Directors typically reviews/approves proposals from this committee in January.
Committee members are comprised of professional and emeritus members per the Ad hoc Committee Protocol and are typically selected in August/September each year to be approved by the ASEV Board of Directors. To avoid conflict of interest, we recommend committee members join if they are not eligible for this award or are likely to not be nominated.- Beth Chang (Chair), Cornell University, New York
