BSA Corresponding Members
Corresponding members are distinguished senior scientists who have made outstanding contributions to plant science and who live and work outside of the United States of America. Corresponding members are nominated by the Council, which reviews recommendations and credentials submitted by members, and elected by the membership at the annual BSA business meeting. Corresponding members have all the privileges of life-time members.
Requirements for Nomination

It is preferable for nominations to be made without knowledge of the nominee. Nominations should be completed by April 1, 2021 to be considered for award of corresponding membership at the BSA Business meeting in July 2021.
This award will be open for nominations starting in mid-February, 2021. Deadline - April 1, 2021

Lúcia Lohmann, a 2019 Corresponding Member, wrote: "Thank you so much for such wonderful news! I have no words to express how honored I feel for having been selected as a corresponding member of BSA. The Botanical Society of America has played a really key role throughout my career, and this recognition gives me a new boost to continue to conduct research here in Brazil, despite the difficult times that Brazilian sciences are facing. I deeply appreciate this recognition, which is a very special one given how much I value BSA. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can do to help the Society."
