Attention Chapters!! The WCTU had decided to start annual awards in 2023. You gave us your input on what you wanted to see for awards at our state council meeting in September and we heard you. Your ballots were tallied and here are the winners!! There will be 4 Awards total as follows:
The Chinook Awards for Conservation/Advocacy
The Chinook Award to a WA Trout Unlimited member
The Chinook Award to a WA Chapter or Alternative Engagement Group of Trout Unlimited
The Steelhead Awards for Special leadership/commitment to excellence.
The Tim Gavin “Steelhead Award” to a WA Trout unlimited member.
The Phoenix “Steelhead Award” / to a WA Chapter or Alternative Engagement Group of Trout Unlimited
Our AWARDS Chairman is Larry Hill - Thank you Larry for stepping up to lead this committee!! We will need 3 more volunteers to serve on this committee to review the nominations. They will be using a point system criteria for judging nominations to decide the winners. Please email us HERE if you are interested in serving on this committee.
These awards will be given, in a typical year, at our annual meeting in September. However, this year that meeting will be in October due to the CX3 taking place in Spokane in late September. There is one exception and that is the first Tim Gavin Steelhead Award will be presented on stage with Chris Wood, at CX3, and Tim's immediate family will be invited to the event.
Nominations should be submitted to the State Council no later than August 1st, 2023. Nominating forms can be requested and completed nominations returned with all supportive documents to council@washingtontu.org.
