The International Society of Arboriculture is currently accepting nominations for the 2019 Awards Programs. These membership programs acknowledge exceptional achievements and those who strive to make an impact on the urban environment.

The Awards of Distinction honors recipients in various categories for their contributions in the arboriculture industry. It is the highest honor presented by the ISA, and it is based on member and industry professional nominations.

The True Professionals of Arboriculture program recognizes arborists and their practices and success in educating the public. The selected individuals will receive recognition in their local newspapers and in case studies publicized in Arborist News, as well as on the ISA website.

Recipients will be announced at the ISA Annual International Conference. Nominations for both award programs are due by February 5, 2019.

The Harry J. Banker Gold Leaf Award ('Gold Leaf Award') is an award given by ISA chapters to individuals at the local or regional level, for either outstanding Arbor Day Activities or for a chapter's landscape beautification activities. To nominate, contact your local ISA Chapter.
