E.A. (Alf) Cornish award

Background

As reported in the February 2012 IBS-AR newsletter, the Australasian Region of the International Biometric Society created the ‘ALF’ award, named after E.A. (Alf) Cornish who was the first (vice-) president of the Australasian Region, from 1948-1950, and IBS President during 1956-1957. More information about Alf’s career is here.

The award is for recognition of a current member in the Australasian Region who has given ‘longtime’ service to the Biometric Society and to the advancement of biometry. The nominated member should have been a member for the minimum of the last 5 years.

Members are invited to submit an application to the Secretary with the nomination of a member who may be eligible to be considered. The closing date for nominations is three months before the starting date of our biennial conferences, typically about the end of August.
