TANNER-SHAUGHNESSY MERIT
AWARD (TSMA)
In 1981, the Illinois
Society for Microbiology established a Merit Award dedicated to the charter
members of this branch of the American Society for Microbiology. This award, known as the “Tanner-Shaughnessy Merit Award” was named in honor of Fred W.
Tanner, the first president of this Society, and Howard J. Shaughnessy, our eleventh President - both very prestigious
educators and microbiologists.
These men, now deceased, have been chosen to represent our charter
members out of the pages of history.
The Tanner-Shaughnessy Merit Award is given for time in service for the
society, as well as for other efforts in the field of microbiology. Each year those individuals who qualify
will be honored, at the Fall Pasteur Award Meeting, by receiving an engraved
document and a paperweight to commemorate the award.
Eligibility will be
determined upon individual request and completion of the attached qualification
sheet. If an individual has fulfilled all
the criteria for membership and service, then they should complete the TSMA form
and return it to the ISM Awards chairman.
Completed forms must be received no later than
ISM members should consider
it an honor and a privilege to receive this merit award. It is an appropriate recognition for
unselfish service as an active member who has helped to provide professional
enrichment for all ISM members.
