We are asking for your help in nominating Marylanders you feel deserve statewide recognition for their conservation efforts in or about your legislative districts and/or geographic region. The Maryland League of Conservation Voters Education Fund has created the President Theodore Roosevelt Award – to be presented annually – in recognition of the individual, group or organization whom through a specific action, event or body of work will leave a positive conservation legacy that mirrors the ethos of President Theodore R. Roosevelt.

Awardees will be recognized with a plaque presented at a statewide news conference, social media acknowledgement and two complimentary tickets to the annual Maryland League of Conservation Voters/Maryland League of Conservation Voters Education Fund Environmental Leadership dinner on October 9th, 2018 in Annapolis, Maryland.
Nominees from across the state will be considered by a select committee of members of the Maryland LCVEF Board of Directors, with three finalists voted in order by the full board.

The First Runner-up and Second Runner –up will be recognized in all traditional and social media efforts as well. Nominations should be submitted to the Maryland LCV/Maryland LCVEF staff no later than September 1, 2018 and the awardees will be announced on or about the October anniversary of the birth of President Theodore Roosevelt.

We encourage you to scour your areas of interest for worthy individuals, groups or formal organizations that you believe reflect this positive conservation ethos, and thank you in advance for your efforts.

For any questions, please contact Kristen Harbeson, Political Director who can be contacted at kharbeson@mdlcv.org.
