The Ray A. Shepard Service Award

About the Award

The Ray A. Shepard Service Award was created to honor Ray A. Shepard for organizing the first BIO conference almost single-handedly. Not necessarily awarded annually, the Shepard Service Award honors volunteers whose work goes above and beyond the call of duty. It comes with a statuette and a lifetime membership to BIO.
