The Victor A. Schmidt Conservation
Award annually recognizes one NSS member who, over time, has
demonstrated outstanding dedication to the conservation of caves. Names of
candidates will be solicited by the Awards Committee, and the recipient will be
approved by the Board of Governors upon recommendation of the Awards Committee.
The recipient must have been a member in good standing of the Society for at
least two years immediately prior to his name being submitted as a candidate.
The Awards Committee shall give preference to candidates who have not received
the Outstanding Service Award or Honorary Membership.
* In 1994, the
Victor A. Schmidt Conservation Award was changed from an internal organization
award to an individual award. The NSS Conservation and Management Section
created an award for internal organizations. Please visit their site to
view the winners of their award.
