The presenter of the memorial lecture must be a current ESA member and have a record of accomplishment in entomology. The scientist who is honored in memoriam must have made major contributions that have had a significant impact on entomology. A brief biographical sketch of awardee and honoree; a list of publications or other suitable documentation of achievements in entomology for both awardee and honoree; and three letters of recommendation for the awardee are required.
