Environmental Leadership Awards
PROPOSAL
Beginning in 2018, the City of Oshkosh Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB) will award one
individual and one group for environmental leadership. These awards are designed to recognize
individuals or groups whose environmental leadership has made a significant contribution to the
community and has had a significant impact on the environment. A successful award program may be
expanded upon in future years. The SAB may also wish to honor other nominees for their
contributions or their nominations.
The SAB, with assistance from staff and the Rotary Environmental and Beautification Committee, will
market the awards to environmental and community groups as well as to the general public.
Nominations are to be made by emailing the SAB general information email address or specific
purpose email. Nominations must include the name, contact information and a photo of the nominee as
well as of the person making the nomination, a brief (e.g., 500 word) summary of the nominee's
contribution(s) to the environment and no more than 3 letters of support and/or 3 exhibits. The awards
will be evaluated using the following criteria:
1. Environmental activism within the City of Oshkosh (participation over time)
2. Leadership contribution (positions and tenure)
3. Development of an innovative or model program or facility in use or being
considered for use by others.
