[BCNnet] suggestions for Environmental Award nominess wanted

[casresearch at comcast.net]

The Chicago Audubon Society is holding it's bi-annual Environmental Awards banquet on Thursday, November 5th.   Dave Willard of the Field Museum will be the featured speaker, with the program focusing on the research the museum has done over 3 decades of bird strikes at McCormick Place, and what they have learned (also including information from the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors data the past few years). 

As usual, we would like to have a wide range of nominations, and also may not be familiar with everyone that would be worthy of an award.    We ask all members of BCN to consider nominating someone. 

The categories: 

Service to Chicago Area Birders 

Environmental Reporting (print, TV or radio, and now even perhaps on-line?) 

Protector of the Environment - Vocation 

Protector of the Environment - Avocation 

Protector of the Environment - Single Act (Group and/or Individual) - Vocation 

Protector of the Environment - Single Act (Group and/or Individual) - Avocation 

Protector of the Environment - Political Service 

Protector of the Environment - Educator 

(Please Note: There are many people who would be worthy of being recognized each time; however to 'spread' the recognition and awards around, we ask that you do not nominate someone who already received an award.   See http://www.chicagoaudubon.org/EnvironmentalAwards.shtml  for a list of past award recipients). 

To nominate someone, either see the writeup on our CAS website:   www.chicagoaudubon.org , or go to http://www.chicagoaudubon.org/2009EnviroAwardsNomiminations.pdf  for the nomination form. 

Thank you for the assistance in gathering a wide range of nominees. 

Thanks!
