Gordon Eastman Grass Roots Award


The late Gordon Eastman of "Eastman's Outdoor World" created the "Grass Roots Award" to be presented at the WSF Annual Convention. His intention was to honor the hardâ??working members of our Chapters and Affiliates that get almost no recognition for their unending work toward the existence of North American wild sheep. Please send only one nomination per Chapter. The following criteria are necessary to qualify your candidate for this award:

     1. Individual’s name, address, phone number and a picture.
     2. Name of organization submitting nomination.
     3. Keep in mind that the "Grass Roots Award" is just that, a person who is not
     recognized by fame or fortune, but by sincere hard work dedicated to his/her
     Chapter or Affiliate.
     4. All requested information must be sent to WSF HQ by November 1st
     5. All resumes will be reviewed by the WSF Board of Directors.

Only one person will be selected to receive the award from the list of nominees. The recipient of this award will be notified in advance so they can plan to attend the Convention for presentation of the award.
