ESA designates as Fellows of the Society certain members who have made outstanding contributions to a wide range of fields served by ESA. Such contributions include, but are not restricted to, those that advance or apply ecological knowledge in academics, government, non-profit organizations and the broader society.

The list of initial Fellows named in the start-up period includes those whose previous levels of recognition place them clearly among the members intended to be recognized by the program.

Nominations of an individual can be made by any three members of ESA (excluding members of the Fellows Selection Committee). A single individual can make at most two nominations each year. Nominations shall include curriculum vitae of at most four pages, one to three letters of recommendation, and a citation of at most 50 words proposed for use if the nominee is selected to be a fellow. View the criteria and procedures for nominating ESA Fellows here.

ESA particularly welcomes nominations that reflect the breadth of the society in all ways.

To be given full consideration, this nomination should be completed by February 1, 2013 and should be submitted as a single PDF file to awards@esa.org with ESA Fellow Nomination in the subject line.
