AAEA Distinguished Service Awards Each year AAEA honors an individual who is a leader and gives something back to the agricultural community with the AAEA Distinguished Service Award. This award is sponsored annually by ADM. Click here to see a list of past winners. Put your agricultural heroes on a pedestal. Nominate them by the deadline of April 30 to receive our association's most prestigious honor. Qualifications The selection committee seeks someone still active in agriculture rather than part of the distant past; someone who shows significant potential for becoming an agricultural leader; and someone who would consider the award meaningful, be willing to accept the award at the Agricultural Media Summit and make a short speech. While contributions to the industry are important, service to the agricultural community is equally important. A nominee's interests, like those of many past recipients, should include giving something back to their community. |
