The Distinguished Service (DS) Award is the highest award of the Wildlife Disease Association.  The purpose of the DS Award is to honor a WDA member of long standing who, by his/her outstanding accomplishments in research, teaching and other activities, including participation in WDA affairs, has made a noteworthy contribution furthering the aims of the Wildlife Disease Association. 
           
The Emeritus Award confers Emeritus status, an honorary category of membership, to members of the WDA who have retired from their profession and who in the opinion of Council have contributed significantly to the study of wildlife diseases.  Emeritus Award recipients will be considered full voting members who receive the Journal of Wildlife Diseases without further payment of dues.
