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

  1. a curriculum vitae of the proposed candidate,

  3. 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
  4. 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.

Nominations should be completed by February 1, 2024 to be considered for award of corresponding membership at the BSA Business meeting in June 2024.
