Heroes of Agriculture, Food and Environment Awards
In order to add to the theme of celebration, the conference planning
team has reinstated the popular awards program. We invite you to suggest
individuals or organizations for a variety of awards to be given out at
the conference on September 23 at the evening reception.
Eligible nominees include those in Agriculture (of all types), Food
(using locally grown/raised products) and the Environment (stewards in
Hawaii). We have up to 7 award categories and plan on acknowledging all
that are appropriately nominated. Nominees can be from across the state or
from your island. The Awards Committee’s philosophy is that Hawaii’s
agriculture sector would not be so vibrant without so many Heroes. Please
help us acknowledge and celebrate them!
The nomination process is easy!
