Indiana SAF fellows have met the following criteria:

  1. A strong commitment through direct SAF volunteer activities, and
  2. Exemplary action, sustained leadership, and advancement of the forestry profession in at least one of the following areas:
    1. application of forestry
    2. education
    3. public policy
    4. research, or
    5. technology transfer

These criteria would typically be demonstrated by a significant number of years of sustained commitment to SAF voluntary activities, performed at two or more of the following SAF organizational levels: state; regional (multi-state or voting district); or national. The criteria are sustained over many years in advancing the forestry profession at two or more of these levels though exceptions are made for unusually notable contributions to SAF or to the forestry profession over a shorter time frame.
