Mentor Recognition Programs

Current Mentor Recognition Funds

A fundraising drive for establishing a mentorship in the name of Gary Smith was started in June 2009.

The funds raised from the mentorship recognition will be used to provide funds for the National 4-H Meat Judging Contest.

If you would like to help recognize Dr. Smith by contributing to the mentor recognition, please make a donation online.

A formalized fully funded Meat Science Mentor Recognition established with the AMSA Development Council will provide the following:
Public recognition for the professional accomplishments of a member of AMSA whose contributions to meat sciences have been national/international in scope.
Both recognition of and on-going financial support for an area championed by the honoree in the form of an endowment established for a specific purpose. ($25,000 or greater)
Recognition of honored individuals and donors in an annual publication of the Association.
A plaque presented to the honoree.
