Nancy Halliday

Special Service Award Recipient, 2013

Nancy Halliday received the Special Service Award in 2013 for her long-term dedication to the Guild. Nancy was one of the founding members of GNSI, serving as one of the Guild's historians. Her initial work in the Guild involved getting the word out and establishing the Newsletter. She has taught many a workshop and been a valued participant of field trips where her extensive field experience and knowledge of our natural world has enriched these experiences for others. Nancy wrote the bird chapter in both editions of The Guild Handbook of Scientific Illustration, her work gracing the cover of the first edition. From bird flight to reflections in perspective, Nancy's work is truly exceptional and she is one of the Guild's most inspiring teachers.

Nancy joined GNSI in 1968 upon its creation over a series of luncheons organized by Carolyn Bartlett Gast and Elaine R.S. Hodges at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.
