Who do you know who has stepped up to the challenges of our changing climate?
The League’s Climate Committee is seeking nominees for the first LWVTSC Climate Award
We are looking for nominees who use creative approaches to address climate and energy issues or policies and have had an impact on areas such as energy conservation, sustainable economic growth, health and social benefit, or who have influenced climate and energy policies in Shawnee County. Nominees should also exhibit leadership that motivates and engages others in the pursuit of sustainable energy goals and climate change-related harm mitigation. In keeping with the League’s nonpartisan stance, we are seeking nominees who are not currently serving in or campaigning for elective office.
Please submit your nominations on the nomination form.
The deadline is February 16.
The awardee will be announced at the LWVTSC Annual Meeting in April 2026, and the recipient will be asked to make a presentation to the membership at the meeting.
The LWVTSC Climate Committee will select two finalists from nominations made by League members. The LWVTSC Board will choose the awardee. In making its selections to present to the Board, the Committee will consider:
• The length of time the nominee has been involved in mitigating harm to the climate at the local level
• The nominee’s success achieving sustainability and climate change harm reduction goals
o By raising community awareness, including conducting community education
o By successfully influencing local policy
If you have questions, contact Vicki Arnett.
