Abstract
Membership in the Animal Behavior Society, and participation in the annual conference, is an important feature of many of our lives. Yet, few of us have the societal longevity and commitment that is exemplified by Zuleyma Tang-Marinez. This year marks Zuleyma’s 50th ABS meeting. Here, I will review some of the many contributions she has made to the Society. These range from serving on the Executive Committee multiple times, membership and foundational support of the Latin American Affairs Committee, and recipient of multiple society awards. A supportive mentor to graduate and undergraduate students, many ABS members are indebted to Zuleyma. More than anyone I know, she has worked to increase the visibility and voice of the Society via resolutions and actions that support diversity at all levels and demonstrate what it means to be an ABS member. Thank you, Zuleyma.
