Nominations and Awards
"Opportunity is missed by most people
because it is dressed in overalls and
looks like work" Thomas A. Edison
Our opportunity to recognize the people who have truly made a difference in
arboriculture takes place at our annual conference. This is our chance
to
show appreciation, enlighten membership and inspire from within. Over
the
years, we have learned of numerous Arbor Day projects, educational efforts,
met awesome individuals from communities of all sizes, just to name a few.
Please take the time to think about worthy people or projects, then take
the next 'opportunity' by actually nominating them.
Also, consider how you may help others within our organization. Would you consider serving on a committee, or as a member of our Board of Directors?
WAA Board Members are anxious to speak with
you. Please share your thoughts, and better yet ‘volunteer’ to get involved as a volunteer for ‘WAA’s Day of Service’, or by serving on a committee.
WAA is now excepting Nominations
for Board of Director Positions, WAA Distinguished Service and Honorary Life Membership Awards, as well as ISA Gold Leaf Awards. Nominations are due no later than December 1, 2010.
