PESP Champion Awards
PESP knows that our  members work hard to protect human health and the
environment by reducing  pest and pesticide risk and by implementing
pollution prevention strategies.  As part of our effort to reinvigorate
PESP, we will be recognizing our  outstanding environmental stewards with
PESP Champion Awards this year. If  your organization has submitted a
Member Strategy or an annual report/update  in 2007 or 2008, you are
eligible for a 2008 PESP Champion Award! To be  considered for a PESP
Champion Award, submit a two page statement (strict  page limit) telling
us why you think your organization is a PESP Champion. We  are interested
in hearing about what measurable steps your organization has  taken to:
Improve economic benefits associated with  Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) adoption;
Reduce the risk to human health through integrated pest and  pest
management practices; and
Reduce the risk to the environment through your best management
practices.

Examples of activities include (but are not limited  to):
Demonstrating new IPM practices or tools, leading  to increased
adoption and economic returns;
Implementing an IPM program that reduces pesticide use and risk  in
schools, communities, or other public  settings;
Facilitating the adoption of IPM in and around  residences;
Effectively managing public health threats  while minimizing
environmental impacts;
Evaluating and implementing IPM methods and creating positive
health benefits;
Promoting IPM and  bolstering the adoption of IPM practices; and
Developing  and implementing IPM education, training, and outreach
programs.

Submit your 2-page statement to Sherry Glick at  glick.sherry at epa.gov by
5:00pm EST on August 15, 2008. The 2008 PESP  Champions will be announced
