The IR-4 Project is now welcoming nominations for the 2024 SOAR Award. This award honors external partners who exemplify the areas of Service, Outreach, Altruism and Research, while supporting specialty crop growers and the mission of IR-4. If you know someone who shows excellence in these areas, we encourage you to nominate them for this award. Anyone involved with IR-4 can be nominated, except for Project Management Committee members or full-time staff. Any IR-4 team member may make a nomination (and multiple nominations are welcome).
Nominations will be accepted until 11:59 pm PST on Wednesday, July 24.
