The first recipient of this award was Erin Tennant, Environmental Scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Erin was recognized for her outstanding dedication as a longtime active member of the San Joaquin Valley Chapter board, including her consistent involvement in planning, organizing, and implementing various events and workshops including the biannual blunt-nosed leopard lizard ecology and survey techniques workshop, and for her important role as a research biologist in the SJV where she studies many of our iconic protected species. She was presented with the award by then-president Kris Robison at the Chapter board meeting on February 9th, 2017, which coincided with the Western Section annual conference in Reno, NV.
