JEAN AUER ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD
Call For Nominations
Nominations Due July 22, 2011
The San Francisco Estuary Partnership is seeking nominations of individuals for the Jean Auer Environmental Award. The award is given in memory of Jean Auer, a Bay Area environmentalist, whose groundbreaking efforts were directed particularly at improving water management in California. The award will be presented at the tenth Biennial State of the Estuary Conference to be held in Oakland in September 2011.
Past recipients of the award include Trish Mulvey, citizen activist with the Citizens Committee to Complete the Refuge; Tom Graff, attorney with Environmental Defense; Marcia Brockbank, director of the San Francisco Estuary Project; and Will Travis, executive director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission.
Nominees from the public and private sector are eligible. Individuals should have made a significant contribution toward improving environmental quality in the Bay-Delta Estuary. Nominees working on water-related issues will receive special consideration.
Nominations should include the name, address, phone number and email address of the nominee, together with a one-page description of the nominee's accomplishments and rationale for his/her selection. Please include your own name and contact information. The San Francisco Estuary Partnership Selection Committee will make its decision in late July, and nominees will be notified of the results in mid-August.
