<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>With
several SAF award nomination deadlines coming due soon, I thought this would be
the appropriate time to remind everyone what National SAF and IESAF awards are
honored and encourage all to participate by nominating your outstanding
professional colleagues. Listed below with nomination deadline dates are
upcoming National and Inland Empire awards. All awards listed below are
also listed on our Inland Empire SAF web-site drop down “Events” at <a
href="http://www.iesaf.org">www.iesaf.org</a>. Award descriptions and
nomination information and procedures for <b><u>all</u></b> National awards
(including Fellows, Presidential Field Forester and Outstanding Student
Chapter)can be found at <a href="http://www.safnet.org/">www.safnet.org</a> -
drop down “About SAF” – “Honors and Excellence”. Please be aware that <b><u>all</u></b>
nominations and all nomination materials must be completed by the nominator
(You) and <b><u>not</u></b> by the IESAF awards Chair (Me). I will be
happy to help out where I can and make sure that nominations completed <b><u>before</u></b>
the deadline are delivered to the appropriate officials if needed. Also
please note past IESAF award recipients, for both National and IESAF awards,
are listed on our IESAF web-site (drop down Events). Congratulate these
past recipients if you like, but please do not re-nominate them for the same
award. To help out with the nomination process, I have attached several
but not all nomination application and information forms for many of the
National awards. These forms can also be found on the National web-site
listed above. I highly recommend that you review these awards on the
web-site! Again, if you have questions or need help on the nomination process
please feel free to contact me. My contact information is listed below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
