(See list at the

North Dakota Chapter SWCS Awards
The following three awards are given yearly, if suitable candidates are nominated, at the ND Chapter Awards Luncheon held in conjunction with the Chapter annual meeting. Nominations for the awards should be forwarded, either hardcopy or e-mail, to the ND Chapter Awards Committee. . Information to be forwarded should include the name and address of the person being nominated for the award, the reason the person/business is being nominated, supporting materials for decision making purposes, and who is nominating the person. Award nominations may be sent to Dr. Stephan Schroeder at sschroeder@nd.gov or 600 E. Blvd Ave. Dept. 408, Bismarck, ND 58505 or to Mr. Bob Bird at Rajmbird@aol.com or 436 Buckskin Ave., Bismarck, ND 58501.
Service Award
The Service Award is presented to an individual or organization involved in
soil and water conservation work and whose work has made a valuable contribution
to the art and science of good landuse. The individual or organization need not
be a member of the state Chapter but should have some presence in the state of
North Dakota.
Professional Award
The Professional Award is presented to an individual directly involved directly in the field of soil, water, and natural resource work. Professional Award recipients have stimulated interest and progress in advancing the art and science of good land use through their professional work. The individual recognized by this award is generally a Chapter member, but this is not a requirement.
Business Stewardship Award
The Business Stewardship Award is presented to recognize the efforts of a business to promote soil and water conservation even though their bottom line may be profit motivated. This effort may be done by the actual promoting of activities in the field such as field demonstrations or through their educational efforts such as distributing printed materials or helping to sponsor informative meetings. The business does not have to be a member of the Society.
