Champions 2016
Our Third Annual Champions of the Chesapeake Awards Dinner was held on October 4, 2016. This annual awards dinner is a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of the Chesapeake’s biggest advocates, where we recognize the public servants, corporations, individual philanthropists, and the next generation of conservationists who support the Conservancy’s work and have dedicated their careers to the Chesapeake Bay.
