The IRG Tributes honor the lives of past IRG members who have positively impacted the career or lives of other members and/or the science and technology of wood protection either globally or in more geographically defined areas.
IRG Tributes are developed through an informal consensus process including a number of our members who are motivated to pay tribute to a former colleague, mentor or friend, who has contributed to their lives and/or the science of our field.
Individual contributions making up each Tribute are chosen to provide a wide perspective of the member being so honored. Other members are encouraged to add their own contributions via the IRG Secretariat. Publication of each Tribute is subject to acceptance by the IRG Executive Council.
The IRG Tributes were initiated in 2022 following the passing of long time IRG member and former President Bjorn Henningsson. While it is anticipated that Tributes will be developed from time to time in the future, the process will remain informal and subject to the initiative of any given group of IRG members.
