The APSA Fellow Award was first presented in 2007. This prestigious award is offered in recognition of past and present members who have made an outstanding contribution to APSA as well as their contribution and commitment to pig science.
Nominations for the APSA Fellow Award are received from the current APSA Committee and the initial nominations are supported by a verbal statement addressing the selection criteria, weighted to assist the Committee in its deliberations.
The selection criteria for deliberation of APSA Fellow nominations cover contributions to:
- The APSA Committee (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, ordinary Committee member);
- Technical content contribution (Editor, referee, scientific authors, etc.);
- Membership development (students, national and overseas);
- Contribution and commitment to pig science (research, involvement in post-graduate training, etc.).
All past APSA Fellows were significant contributors to APSA and pig science, and given both their professional and personal commitments at the time, their substantial contributions are particularly admirable.
