Legends/Beacon Award Nominations - Suspense 18 March
Enclosed is the request for nominations for the American Recreation Coalition's (ARC) Legends and Beacon Awards. The Legends Award is presented annually to a Corps employee and recognizes outstanding and significant contributions to the enhancement of outdoor recreation resources, facilities and experiences.

The Beacon award recognizes an agency initiative or program that represents the innovative use of technology to enhance visitor services and improve the management of recreation programs. ARC makes the final selection for the Beacon award.

These are prestigious awards given by each federal land management agency and demonstrate our agency's commitment to excellence. Award winners will be recognized and honored during the Partners Outdoors Conference (1-2 June 2016) at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. where the awards will be presented.

Nomination and selection criteria are enclosed. Only one nomination per MSC will be accepted for each award. Please make every effort submit an outstanding individual and an initiative (may include multiple individuals). This is a chance to recognize the best of the best!

The suspense date is 18 March 2016. Questions and submissions should be directed to Heather Burke (503-808-4313). Nomination packages from past winners are located on the Partnership pages of the NRM Gateway at https://corpslakes.erdc.dren.mil/partners/award-arc.cfm
