​2021 Distinguished Service Award

Jessica Price

Jessica Price, Renewable Energy Strategy Lead for the Nature Conservancy in New York, will be awarded the 2021 Distinguished Service Award by the North American Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE-NA) at their annual meeting, which is to be held virtually in April 2021. The award for Distinguished Service recognizes individuals who have contributed exceptionally to IALE-NA. Exceptional service represents a contribution to IALE-NA in terms of time, energy and dedication that advanced the mission of IALE-NA in an extraordinary manner and thus deserves special recognition.

Jessica has been providing service to IALE-NA since being a student representative on the Executive Committee. She served as Treasurer for two terms (from 2016-2020). She volunteered to take on an additional year in the role as Outgoing Treasurer in 2020-2021 to provide advice and guidance to the new Treasurer. She was instrumental in managing the transition of the Association’s financial accounts into one central account and handling the complexities on the financial side of transitioning from US-IALE to IALE-NA. She has kept the books highly organized, ensuring a seamless transition to her successor. 
​
In her current role, Jessica applies both natural and social science expertise to develop strategies that address large-scale challenges affecting both people and nature. This includes sustainable renewable energy deployment, building community resilience to climate change, and using nature-based approaches to improve the health of people and ecosystems in urban landscapes. Jessica earned a PhD and MSc at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Bachelor’s Degree at Lake Forest College.
