Honors and Awards Committee

• We have a really exciting new way for our membership to highlight one another’s achievements, connecting across our community by giving shout outs throughout the year! 

  Our new award nominations put you all in the driver seat by nominating your coworkers or other colleagues in the field. It is a great way to reinforce your peers! The following are the categories you can select from:

  • The Innovator: Advancing elephant care through new ideas, devices, training methods, or research.
  • The Collaborator: Strengthening our community through communication, education, and teamwork.
  • The Herd: Recognizing collective achievements in breeding, research, husbandry, or team dynamics.

  You can nominate your colleagues all year long, and we will give shout outs of nominees on social media.  Then at the end of the year, prior to the annual conference, the BOD will vote on a winner from each category to be recognized at the banquet.
