AWA Director Receives Wildlife Conservation Award

Last week, AWA's Executive Director was honored to receive the Alaska Chapter of the Wildlife Society's 2024 Wildlife Conservation Award! This award recognizes "outstanding professional achievement during the preceding five years."

Nicole enjoys overseeing all AWA's programs, from being a voice for wildlife at state and federal regulatory meetings, to developing climate resiliency for wildlife, and engaging with folks all around Alaska in support of species and habitats. We are honored to share this award in recognition off all the hard work by AWA's staff and board, and the members who makes this possible. Thank you!
