DAVID W. SCOTT MEMORIAL AWARD

This award may be given annually or only at those times when the Awards Committee and the Executive Board deem appropriate. The Award should maintain the same standards of quality that David personified.

This award is dedicated to the recognition of the fact that many advancements in our work come from the rank-and-file……the worker….the field person, as a result of their time spent on the job, their experience and common sense. It may acknowledge an improvement in a procedure, a practice, any of the many operational strategies that we perform in mosquito control on a day-to-day basis.

There are no minimum qualifications of educational level, seniority, title, position or rank. Nominations are to be put forward by a Supervisor for a member of his/her own staff to the Chair of the Scholarship/Awards Committee.

Criteria worthy of nomination may include, but are not limited to:

• Improvement of a water management strategy
• Development of a tool or mechanical device that improves existing equipment
• Excellence in field surveillance or resolution to a chronic mosquito population problem
• Noteworthy leadership as a mosquito control employee or Association member (i.e. extended service as a dedicated participant in annual NMCA conferences or some in-state or regional committee which addresses operational field issues)
• Resolution of a mosquito control issue that would ordinarily be considered above and beyond the responsibility or credentials of the worker who resolved it

Nominations should be one page or less and will be considered by the Scholarship/Awards Committee qualitatively not quantitatively.

Please submit all nominations by November 1 of the year of application to:
