CDEM Employee of the Year Awards

 

2024 CDEM Employee of the Year Awards will look just a little different in years past. This year we will be awarding Eleven! Yes Eleven(11) awards to employees! Each Region will be awarded one "Regional Employee of the Year" award and of those individuals nominated, one will be awarded the "Conservation District Employee of the Year" award. 

​

Here's details of how it will work:

• Nominations open August 15th, 2024.

• Anyone can nominate a Conservation District employee. And we truly mean anyone can nominate an employee from any region. Board members, staff, partner staff or MACD staff can make a nomination. 

• The nominee must be a CDEM member in good standing.

• Nominations close on September 26th.

• On September 27th, the awards committee will create packets for regional committees to deliberate on the Regional nominees.

  • Each Region will deliberate on another regions nominees. IE Region 1 will review Region 3, Region 2 reviews Region 4, etc etc.  

  • These committees will be a minimum of 3 people each - the CDEM Regional Representative and at least 2 other colleagues (ideally from a neighboring CD and not from their own office)

  • Nominations will open each fall and be awarded at the Fall MACD Annual Convention. 

  • Decisions must be returned to the Executive Committee by October 8th so awards can be customized and delivered in time for the conference.

• Awards will be distributed at the 2024 MACD Annual Conference at Shanty Creek, Bellaire, Michigan.​

• Please contact Awards Committee with any questions, Renee Penny or Brook Baumann.
