Nomination
The call for nominations for available ISTS positions is currently closed.
Letter of Support
Two letters of support should be completed following the completion of a nomination. These need to be sent before the application deadline. These should not be completed by the nominee. Only letters of support for the specific year of nomination will be considered. Letters of support should be provided by individuals with personal experience of the nominee’s research/conservation activities and do not need to be current members of the ISTS.
A template for a letter of support can be downloaded here. Once complete, they should be emailed to the Nominations Committee.
Additional Information:
To assist in the nomination process, the Nomination Committee provides the following suggestions for preparing your nominations:
- Provide clear and accurate information.
- Letters of support should explain the relationship between the nominee and the referee.
- Explain how the nominee’s contribution fits within the context of those they work with – often achievements are collaborative, but individuals can still make a significant individual contribution.
- A nominee’s biographical information should not exceed 250 words.
- For nominations to be considered, the application and all supporting documents MUST be received by the deadline; incomplete applications will not be accepted.
