Conservation Award Nominations
Each year, with the help of our partners and sponsors, OACD recognizes the "Best of the Best" in the conservation community. We choose one District and one Director each year from across the state.
Each of these are chosen based on their hard work, commitment to conservation and dedication to furthering the message of conservation.
Conservation Award Nominations are due two weeks prior to each Area Meeting.
Please fill out the form below to complete the nomination. Submissions are encouraged to stay under 1000 words, but should describe the nominee's activities to best illustrate why they should be "OACD Outstanding District Director". If you have any supporting documentation that you feel would be helpful, please email it as an attachment to jeanlam@okconservation.org.
Outstanding Conservation District Director
The OACD Outstanding Conservation District Director Award recognizes a district director who demonstrates exceptional leadership, commitment, and service to locally led conservation.
Outstanding directors go beyond attending board meetings, they actively strengthen their district, advocate for conservation, build partnerships, engage their communities, and help ensure the continued success of Oklahoma's conservation district system.
District Directors can be nominated by any OACD member. One Director from each area will be chosen and recognized at the area and state meetings. Of the five Directors selected from each area, one will be chosen as the statewide "OACD Outstanding District Director" and and honored at the Annual State Meeting.
If you have any questions about the application process, please email jeanlam@okconservation.org.
All submissions must be sent to the OACD Area Representative for the Director's designated Area two weeks prior to the area meeting.
