ASIH - Robert K. Johnson Award for Excellence in Service

Organization: American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists

Nominations are solicited for the Robert K. Johnson Award. In 2016, the award will be presented to a ichthyologist. The ASIH created the award to recognize members that perform exceptional service for the ASIH in memory of Bob Johnson whose service was exemplary. Bob served on many ASIH committees, four terms as a member of the Board of Governors, as managing editor of Copeia, Secretary, and Chair of the Long Range Planning and Policy Committee. As chair of the Long Range Planning and Policy Committee, he developed a policy and procedures manual for the ASIH that has proved to be an exceptionally useful document. Bob's committee was inspired by his commitment to this task, which codified the activities of ASIH.
