Wed, 18 Feb 2015 14:59:29 CST

Noble Foundation Pasture and Range Consultant Chad Ellis has been selected as the 2015 Society of Range Management (SRM) Association Outstanding Young Range Professional honor award recipient. Ellis was honored on Tuesday, February 3, at the society's 2015 annual meeting.


Ellis was selected for the award because of his dedication to improving rangeland management. "Chad is a tremendous asset to the Noble Foundation," said Bill Buckner, Noble Foundation president and CEO. "He is a knowledgeable advocate for rangeland management issues, and he is effective in communicating those issues to producers and others in the agriculture industry."


This award is presented to an individual member who has demonstrated extraordinary potential and promise as a range management professional. "It is an honor to be selected by my peers," Ellis said, "This award is about more than just my accomplishments; it's about the mentors and people who have advised, guided and motivated my passion for rangelands."


Ellis is a member of the Florida, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma Sections of SRM. He serves on the board of directors for the Oklahoma Section. Ellis is active in the National Grazing Lands Coalition, serving as chairman, and advisor on the Texas and Kansas chapters. He is also a member of American Forage and Grassland Council, The Wildlife Society, and Oklahoma Wildlife Management Association.


"Chad's knowledge on rangeland management issues and ability to effectively communicate those issues to producers is at the core of what the Noble Foundation does," said Russell Stevens, Noble Foundation wildlife and fisheries consultant and the individual who nominated Ellis. "His whole focus is helping farmers and ranchers in any way he can. This award was just one small way of recognizing his contribution to our greater mission."


Ellis received his bachelor's degree in natural resource management from Sul Ross State University in 1999 and master's degree in range management from Angelo State University in 2001.
