Special Recognitions

The AAPSE President and the Board have the freedom (exclusive to the awards committee) to recognized members and others for extraordinary achievements and contributions to the organization. It isn't difficult to recognized these individuals because there is always someone who stands out over a career or within a few years that changed pesticide safety education or the organization because of their accomplishments. The award is usually suggested by the president and approved by the board.
