In June, the nomination applications received in 2022 went through Technical Review. Once the review was complete, nominators were notified of their application status. The nomination applications that passed Technical Review were then sent to the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame Board of Governors.
The Governors are an independent body, meaning they do not serve the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame in any other capacity that could influence their decision making. The Governors are highly knowledgeable in Wisconsin conservation history and bring a wealth of experience to their positions. The Governors are chosen based on their passion for and experience, background, and understanding of Wisconsin’s Conservation movement. Governors serve overlapping three-year terms and may be reappointed.
In late July, the Board of Governors convene to review every completed nomination including those newly received and those in the existing pool. They choose the five most outstanding nominees to submit to the WCHF Board of Directors and Voting Member Organization Representatives for consideration of WCHF induction the following year. This completes the Board of Governors’ role.
