Award Categories
- Citizen
This
category celebrates the many dedicated volunteers
whose actions are protecting our lakes and encouraging
others to do the same. They are, for example, working
with local governments to ensure that land use decisions
consider lake and watershed health, providing ongoing
community service, and extending a helping hand
to advance lake protection goals.
- Organized Group
This category is to recognize the many types of
partnerships for resource protection: lake associations,
lake districts, countywide associations, conservancies,
friends groups, and other collaborative efforts.
A commitment to involving people in lake management
decisions and being a catalyst for lake protection
initiatives are a few traits of previous Stewardship
Award winners in this category.
- Public service
This category is to honor public officials and employees
from state and local agencies who are really making
a difference in the work they do. Building meaningful
relationships, overcoming big challenges, and teaching
people how to make well-informed lake management
decisions are a few traits that distinguish nominees
in this category.
- Youth
(individual or group)
This category recognizes young lake leaders or youth
groups showing local or regional leadership getting
their peers excited about lakes, monitoring and
studying lakes, and doing lake related projects.
-
Business
This category recognizes
firms that have shown outstanding commitment to
the ecological health of our lakes, and in assisting
lake communities with the development and implementation
of sound lake management plans.
