 Nomination Form—Nominations due February 1, 2012
In 1934, funds raised for the entertainment of delegates to the XIIth International Veterinary Congress held in New York that year resulted in an unexpended balance. The U.S. Committee on Finance of that Congress met in 1936 to consider utilization of the unexpended money and voted that the sum of $5,000 should be turned over to the AVMA for investment in U.S. Treasury bonds, the interest to be used each year for an award to be known as the XIIth International Veterinary Congress Prize that recognizes outstanding service by a member of the Association who has contributed to international understanding of veterinary medicine. The award consists of a crystal sculpture and $500.
