Award Nominations Deadline Reminder

The Power of Knowledge Deserves Recognition — Submit Your Nomination

In a time when credible knowledge and trusted voices are increasingly rare, recognizing those who lead with integrity, expertise, and purpose has never been more important.

The Extension Distinction Award and the Merit Award honor individuals who are advancing the grape and wine community through trusted science, practical innovation, and service that stands the test of time. These are the people helping others navigate complexity with clarity — and their work benefits us all.

By nominating someone, you’re doing more than celebrating a job well done. You’re helping elevate the standards of leadership, collaboration, and impact across our industry.

Let’s honor those who still believe in the power of knowledge for the greater good.

Deadline to nominate: August 1.
