Honorary Members

The category of Honorary Member symbolizes SBCS’s tribute and recognition to people who have contributed notably to the development of Soil Science in Brazil.

Honorary members are nominated to the Executive Secretariat by at least one third of the members of the Director Councilor, or by the boards of two Specialized Divisions of the SBCS or three Regional or State Centers, or by a group of 30 (thirty) full members .

The nomination is submitted for approval by the SBCS Board of Directors. Once approved, the name of the Honorary Member is presented to the General Assembly for tribute purposes.
