NOMINATE YOUR CONSERVATION HEROES TODAY!

Time is running out to submit a nomination form for NACD's national service awards. Too often, the folks responsible for making conservation partnerships, practices, programs and projects successful go unnoted. That's why NACD's Annual Awards Program strives to recognize individuals and organizations for their outstanding work and leadership in soil and water conservation. Be sure to nominate your conservation leader by Friday, Aug. 31!

NACD offers two national awards categories for you to consider:

Friend of Conservation Award - recognizes an individual, business, organization or agency outside the association for outstanding contributions to the conservation of our nation’s natural resources. Any individual, business, organization or agency that is not directly associated with conservation districts at the local, state or national level is eligible to receive this award. Nominations can be made by any individual, organization, agency or conservation district.

Distinguished Service Award - recognizes an individual within the association, a conservation district or state association that has made significant contributions to the conservation and proper management of our nation’s natural resources. Nominees can be involved with districts or the association at any level, including past NACD officers. Nominations can also be made posthumously for individuals and may be submitted by any individual, organization, agency or conservation district.

Winners will be recognized at NACD's 73rd Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 2-6, 2019. Every nominee will receive a certificate of honorable mention along with a copy of the nomination that was submitted on their behalf. Please consider sending in your nomination for this year’s NACD national service awards before time runs out!
