Champions of the Chesapeake 2020

Now more than ever, we need a hero. And not just any hero – we need a Champion of the Chesapeake. Everyday, people are making a measurable difference in their own backyard. Whether they are working in the conservation field, incorporating environmental practices into their everyday routine, or just starting out in their career, we want to highlight them!

We want YOU to nominate who should be awarded this honor. We will have four categories: 

Everyday Hero: Someone who incorporates conservation into their everyday lives
Lifetime Champion: An individual who has dedicated their life to conservation
Next Generation: A rising young conservation champion
Small Business: A local business that has made steps to be eco-friendly for the Chesapeake

Nominations will be open from September 1-26. Stay tuned for voting!

The final winner from each category will be highlighted in our newsletter and receive free entry to our virtual race that will be announced later in September.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact Emilie Lahneman.
