Angeles Chapter Awards Nominations Open : Deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011

The Awards Committee invites all Angeles Chapter entity chairs to submit nominees for the 2011 chapter awards. The submission deadline is Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Submissions can be sent any time before that date. Late applications will be held over for the 2012 awards, so earlier is better to ensure all candidates are honored in a timely way.

These annual awards are given to recognize hard-working volunteers who give of their time to the Sierra Club and the Chapter through their conservation, outings, activism, or advocacy efforts. We celebrate veterans and rookies, as well as past award winners!

Any Chapter member or entity management committee can nominate another member for an award. Exceptions Current At-Large Angeles Chapter Executive Committee and Awards Committee members are NOT eligible; nor are deceased Sierra Club members eligible posthumously. Preference goes to candidates who have received little to no recent recognition. A list of the awards categories, past awardees, and the nomination form can be found on the Chapter Awards page.
