KACDE Kentucky Shine Award
Each month, area representatives will nominate a person, or persons, to be selected as the Kentucky Shine Award. For the last three months, the KACDE Governing Board will decide nominees for the award. This award is to recognize the District Employees who have risen above the call of duty and have done something outstanding for their Conservation District, or perhaps their region, state, or national level.
All of the winners for the monthly KACDE Kentucky Shine Award are eligible to win the KACDE Employee Choice Award that is awarded each year. The state winner will be forwarded to the Southeast Region for competition.
Below is a schedule of area representative nomination rotation. Nominations should be made on the formal KY Shine Award Nomination Form and sent to Wanda Gilbert of Cumberland County Conservation District by the first Monday of the month.
