ALISON HASKELL AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN HERPETOFAUNAL CONSERVATION
Request for Nominations!
PARC is seeking nominations for the 2011 recipient of our new annual award in memory of our first PARC Federal Coordinator, Alison Haskell (1956-2006).
This award is to recognize an individual in North America who exemplifies extraordinary commitment to herpetofaunal conservation, as did Alison. Alison's tenure with PARC was tragically shortened due to a valiant, but unsuccessful battle with ovarian cancer. Members of PARC aim to keep her memory alive through this annual award.
Nominations are due March 14th. Read more about the award, how to submit nominations, and about Alison, at

We look forward to your nominations!
