In early September, the executive committee will ask Section members to approve three amendments to the Genetics Section bylaws. Two of these are \u201chouse keeping\u201d amendments in that they formalize standing committees for the Section\u2019s established awards (James E. Wright graduate award and Stevan Phelps memorial award). The third amendment creates a standing committee for a proposed Genetics Section Early Career Award. The Early Career Award is intended to be an annual award that recognizes the contribution of young researchers (within five years of having completed graduate training) in the field of fisheries genetics. The recipient of the award will be recognized at the Section\u2019s business meeting as well as in the newsletter and on the Section\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
