The Badger National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) Chapter recently donated $500 to the building of the University of Wisconsin-Madison NAMA Awards Tree, a display that recognizes the accomplishments of the student chapter over the past 30 years.

“Since its accreditation in 1981, the UW-Madison Student NAMA Chapter, its marketing team and its advisors have been recognized by the national professional chapter with numerous awards,” says Sarah Botham, UW-Madison NAMA Advisor. “We appreciate Badger NAMA’s donation to help make our awards tree a reality.”

In 2008, this vast collection of trophies and plaques was replaced with a three-dimensional wall of recognition, featuring a unique design which will provide space for an infinite number of future awards.

The bronze sculpture takes the form of a tree, with each leaf representing one award. The awards are divided by categories and the categories identified by large acorns. Each category is represented in one section of the tree and can be updated annually, growing with the success and legacy of this renowned student organization.
