Due date for all nominations is April 25

Do you know a group or individual who has worked professionally or selflessly volunteered to improve the Gulf of Maine? A volunteer who has devoted his or her life to natural resource and environmental issues in the Gulf? A very special coastal management professional who works in the Gulf of Maine?

The Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment is calling for nominations for its annual Visionary and Longard Awards and the first Susan Snow-Cotter Leadership Award. One group and one individual (paid professionals or volunteers are eligible) in each province and state* will be selected to receive a Visionary Award. One Longard Award will be selected to honor a lifetime of achievement in his or her volunteer work. One individual will be selected for the first Susan Snow-Cotter award to recognize a coastal management professional who exemplifies outstanding leadership or exceptional mentoring in the Gulf of Maine watershed.

Please consider nominating a deserving volunteer or professional individual or group for a Visionary Award, an individual volunteer for the Longard Award, and a professional for the Susan Snow-Cotter Leadership Award. To nominate a group or individual, please complete and return to me by April 25, 2008 a Visionary, Longard, and Susan Snow-Cotter Awards forms posted at http://www.gulfofmaine.org/council/opportunities/#awards. For your reference, further information on the awards as well as a list of past award recipients is posted. Articles about them published in the Gulf of Maine Times are also included.
