Want to reward a special Chapter volunteer? Award nominations due Dec. 15

Everyone loves to receive an award, and now is the time to take a look around for that special person who volunteers tirelessly in service to the Sierra Club through conservation, outings, activism, advocacy and leadership. Let’s celebrate the good works of an outstanding outings leader, an inspiring conservationist, a member with irrepressible, contagious enthusiasm and someone who embodies the ideals of our Chapter and the Sierra Club.

With nearly 40,000 members in a very diverse Chapter, it's time to congratulate our individual and collective efforts. Now is your chance to recognize leaders and volunteers who have given so much time and effort. Awards to 2015 volunteers will be celebrated at the Annual Chapter Awards Banquet on June 5 in Pasadena.

Nominations for awards include lifelong members, newcomers that make a difference, and even past awardees. 

You may make nominations now through Dec. 15.

Any Chapter member or entity management committee can nominate another member for an award, with a few exceptions: 

--Current at-large Angeles Chapter Executive Committee and Awards Committee members are not eligible; nor are deceased Sierra Club members eligible posthumously to receive an award.

--Preference goes to candidates that 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.

Additional awards information can be found on the Chapter’s History pages.

How do I nominate another member for an award?  Review the awards list and other information, and then follow the instructions provided on the Nominations Forms. 

Background material on awardees will be included in the Awards Banquet program and in the Southern Sierran, so please include all important information for your awards candidate along with nomination Category. Late applications will be held over for the next year’s awards.

The Awards Committee looks forward to receiving your nominations!
