Every year at ATCEM, we present five Environmental Excellence Awards to recognize the hard work performed every day for preserving our environment for future generations. Here are the categories:
- Rising Star Award – For an individual who is just getting started in the tribal environmental field, but shows great promise to be an up and coming environmental leader in their community.
- Environmental Leader Award – For an established tribal environmental professional who demonstrates outstanding motivation and leadership with environmental projects in their community.
- Lifetime Achievement Award – For an individual who has made long-lasting environmental contributions that improve environmental health in their community over the course many years. This individual is a true inspiration and deserving of the highest honor.
- Helping Hands Award – For an individual, team, or organization that has provided exceptional services to support environmental projects in tribal communities.
- Community Group Award – For a group or a team that has demonstrated outstanding environmental leadership in their community and has worked together to improve their local environment.
There is no limit to the number of nominations you may make. An anonymous selection committee reviews all nominations and notifies winners. Winners will be invited to receive their award during ATCEM's Luncheon Ceremony on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. If you have any questions, email atcem@anthc.org.
