About the Caribbean Division
The Caribbean Division is the regional representation of The American Phytopathological Society.
Eligible members are those members of APS who live in countries of the Caribbean region, Greater and Lesser Antilles, Central and South America, and active members working in subtropical or tropical world zones.
Annual meeting. The Caribbean Division holds a regional meeting every year. This provides both an intimate venue in which graduate students can present oral papers, and also provides all members the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas, and share information with colleagues in our area.
The Frederick L. Wellman Award (Premio Frederick L. Wellman). The American Phytopathological Society - Caribbean Division (APS-CD) grants its most prestigious award, the Frederick L. Wellman Award, to an active member of the Society for his or her contributions to the science of plant pathology in the Caribbean-Latin America area, his or her contributions to the parent society, in general, and in particular to the Caribbean Division of APS.
