ACTWS Wildlife Lifetime Achievement Award

The Chapter’s Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to wildlife professionals who, in the opinion of the ACTWS Awards Committee, have made significant impacts over their careers in the field of wildlife management in Alabama.  Each award will consist of a certificate and special presentation, along with recognition at the Chapter’s annual meeting.  

Nominations and the deadlines will be advertised through the ACTWS communications network prior to each annual meeting.  Due to the prestigious nature of the award, it is not expected that it will be awarded annually, although nominations could be submitted at any time.

The nomination form can be downloaded here.
