This event is the occasion for presentation of annual awards to key state legislators for environmental leadership in our General Assembly. Leading the slate this year was presentation of the Jane Sharp Lifetime Environmental Champion Award to House Speaker Joe Hackney. Other deserving award winners included Representative of the Year, Pricey Harrison, and Senator of the Year, Janet Cowell.
After the awards were presented, there was a tribute to Jane Sharp, the long-time citizen leader after whom the lifetime achievement award is named. As one who has had the privilege of working with Jane for more than 30 years now, I was delighted to help share stories of her role in developing our state's citizen environmental stewardship movement.
