Nominte them for a Wisconsin Academy Fellows Award.
The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters is currently seeking individuals to be honored and recognized as Wisconsin Academy Fellows. Established by the Academy in 1982, the Wisconsin Academy Fellows Award recognizes educators, researchers, mentors, artists, and civic or business leaders from across Wisconsin who have made substantial contributions to the cultural life and welfare of our state and its people. Anyone in Wisconsin age eighteen or older can nominate someone for the Wisconsin Academy Fellows Award.
Wisconsin Academy Fellow nominations are accepted through the Wisconsin Academy's website. Nominees are reviewed biennially (see schedule below) by a panel of existing Fellows and Academy Board members before approval by the full Wisconsin Academy Board. Each nomination will be eligible for consideration in two consecutive selection processes. (i.e. New nominations submitted on or before September 30, 2017, will be eligible for consideration in Spring of 2018 and 2020.) Nominators may update/revise materials before the next selection process, but it is not required for reconsideration of a candidate. If not selected after two consecutive cycles, candidates will need to be re-nominated for full consideration.
