Tom Rose Memorial Charity Donation
The Source Evaluation Society coordinates a charity donation in memory of Tom Rose, a long-time SES member, member of the Hall of Fame, and active environmental advocate. Each year, SES asks members to nominate an organization engaged in environmental research and education to receive a gift of $1,000 (or more). The SES Board reviews the nominations at the annual Board meeting, selects a recipient, and announces the selection at the annual members meeting and in the SES Newsletter. Below is a list of previous Tom Rose Memorial Charity winners.
