The
Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club consists of over 25,000 members.
The Chapter spans the entire state of Texas, excepting El Paso, which
is part of the Rio Grande Chapter.
Located in Austin, the Lone Star Chapter's State Conservation Office
serves Sierrans as their grassroots communications center. We also provide
Sierrans with a full time professional activist staff employed to represent
Sierrans as we fight at the state level to protect and conserve Texas'
diverse and valuable natural heritage.
Chapter Awards
CALL
FOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2008 LONE STAR CHAPTER AWARDS
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: February 23, 2009
The Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club
annually recognizes Sierra Club members and others who
have done outstanding work in pursuit of environmental
protection or in furthering the goals and activities
of the Sierra Club. Most of the nominations for these
chapter awards come from chapter and group leaders. The
Lone Star Chapter is asking you to nominate possible
winners of the 2008 awards, to recognize work done or
continued in 2008.
The deadline for nominations for the
2008 awards is February 23, 2009. This deadline
is necessary in order to give the Chapter Awards Committee
time to review the nominations, make their selections, consult
with the Chapter Executive Committee, and make arrangements
for the award winners to attend the presentation.
To aid you in making nominations for these awards, the following
pages have been constructed: (1) a description of the various
Chapter awards, (2) a list of previous recipients of those
awards, and (3) a nomination form. The 2008 awards will be
presented at the Chapter Awards Dinner (to be held Saturday,
April 4, 2009 in Austin).
It is important that our volunteers and other people who give their time to the work of the Sierra Club or to environmental protection and natural resource management in general are recognized for their efforts. They are the foundation on which the Sierra Club and protection of the environment rest. Giving awards is one way we honor these people. Please take a few minutes of your time to think of people who deserve recognition, and submit your nomination(s).
Nominations may be made by any individual. Nominations
may be sent to Teresa Carrillo, Awards Committee Chair,
3522 County Road 258, Realitos, TX 78736 or by e-mail
to
teresacarrillo@gmail.com.
For more information, call Teresa at 361-855-9012 (home).
