General Policies Governing the Administration of Monetary Awards in the American Dairy Science Association

The general purpose of the awards program of the American Dairy Science Association is to promote advancement of the dairy industry by special recognition of selected ADSA members for their outstanding achievements in and contributions to various branches of dairying.

Since inauguration of the cash-value program in 1937, policies have undergone considerable evolution. Suggestions from individual members and special studies by various committees have led to improvements. Several landmarks in the progressive advancement of the awards procedures have been reported (G. M. Trout, "The Awards of the ADSA," JDS, 44:955, 1961). Though a major improvement in guides for specific awards was made in 1956, periodic review and revision are needed. Thus, the outline that follows is a revision designed to coordinate and further clarify the policies.

Policies Governing Award Programs

The acceptance of any monetary award is contingent on manual agreement by a donor and the American Dairy Science Association on: (A) administrative guidelines, (B) purpose of the award, (C) qualifications for nomination, and (D) eligibility of nominee for selection for an award.
