BSA Corresponding Members
|
Corresponding members are distinguished scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the plant sciences and who live and work outside of the United States of America. The committee seeks nominees who have had a significant impact to the plant sciences throughout their career as demonstrated by excellence in research and scholarship. Additional criteria may include meaningful contributions in education, public policy and/or exceptional service to the professional botanical community, or a combination of these qualities. Recipients will also have demonstrated leadership and engagement in relevant scientific organizations within their own country and/or internationally.
Corresponding members are considered by the Corresponding Member Committee, forwarded to the Council, which reviews recommendations and credentials submitted by members, and approved by the membership at the annual BSA business meeting. Corresponding members have all the privileges of life-time members.
Requirements for Nomination
Nominations will be submitted by BSA members through the BSA online awards portal and should include:
- a curriculum vitae of the proposed candidate,
- a detailed explanation of the qualifications and achievements of the candidate, and
- at least three letters of support (including one nomination letter) with at least one of these letters coming from a relevant colleague in the country of the nominee
- the Professional Conduct Disclosure Form from the nominator and any other letter writers
All nominated awardees must adhere to the BSA Guidelines for Professional Ethics and the Ethical Guidelines for Nominated Awards.
All items should be combined into one PDF file for upload to the BSA Awards portal.
This award is now open for nominations.
Nominations should be completed by February 3, 2025 to be considered for award of corresponding membership at the BSA Business meeting in July 2025.

Current BSA members can access the awards portal by clicking here and logging in with your BotanyID/Password. Once signed in, click on the "2025 - Corresponding Members" link and you should see a blue button that says "+ Create New Nomination" at the bottom if your login was successful.

Lúcia Lohmann, a 2019 Corresponding Member, wrote:
"Thank you so much for such wonderful news! I have no words to express how honored I feel for having been selected as a corresponding member of BSA. The Botanical Society of America has played a really key role throughout my career, and this recognition gives me a new boost to continue to conduct research here in Brazil, despite the difficult times that Brazilian sciences are facing. I deeply appreciate this recognition, which is a very special one given how much I value BSA. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can do to help the Society."
