Melosi Receives Distinguished Service Award
Posted: March 31, 2009
Martin Melosi received the 2009 Distinguished Service Award from the American Society for Environmental History (ASEH) at its annual meeting held this year in Tallahassee, Florida in March, 2009. The organization presents this award every other year to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the organization and community. Melosi served as president of the ASEH from 1993-1995. He funded the EV and Nancy Melosi Travel Grant and helped to organize two conferences in Houston, the only city to host the event twice. His fundraising efforts have made these events successful, and he continues to provide advice on fundraising and other matters to the organization. Melosi won ASEH’s best book award in 2001 for The Sanitary City and was recognized for his continued work inspiring environmental historians, as well as combining environmental and public history to help students recognize potential opportunities.
