Joan Mosenthal DeWind was a pioneering member of the Xerces Society. A
psychiatric social worker by profession, she was also an avid butterfly
gardener and an accomplished amateur lepidopterist. Her contributions of
time, organizational expertise, and financial support were essential to the
early growth and success of the Xerces Society, and helped found a robust
organization that has continued to expand in the decades since and become a
conservation leader. In Joan's memory, Bill DeWind established this student
research endowment fund. Award amounts are determined annually, but are
$10,000 each in 2024.
