CO/WY Chapter AFS
In 1977, the Chapter created a
“Stream Habitat Award” to be made to an undergraduate student enrolled in a
fisheries program within the Chapter boundaries. The applicant was required to
participate in some pertinent activity relating to public education,
management, or maintenance/improvement of stream habitat. The award included a
scholarship of $100.00. In 1978, in honor of Max Rollefson of the Wyoming Game
and Fish Department, the award was renamed the “Max Rollefson Stream Habitat
Award.”
Although the “Rollefson Award
Committee” publicized, promoted and revised the award, there were many years in
the 1980’s when it was not awarded. In
1991, the award became the “Max Rollefson Award of Merit” or “MAX Award of
Merit, ” an "atta boy" to recognize a short-term professional
accomplishment in management, administration, research or culture. Since 1991, the award has been administered
by the "Awards Committee"
