Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award Winners 25th Anniversary 1986 to 2011 Intentionally left blank 2 History of the Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Annual Stewardship Awards program began in 1995, although a major component of it, the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Hazardous Waste Management actually began in 1986 through a legislative mandate. Working through the commissioner’s office, the program’s leader, Ernie Blankenship, along with many program partners, believed there was a need to publicly recognize the fine efforts of the many unsung volunteers, both individuals and organizations, who had participated in efforts to protect our state’s environmental quality, promote environmental education, and enhance the state’s natural beauty and quality of life. The purpose of these awards is to recognize outstanding achievements by individuals, businesses, organizations, educational institutions, and agencies resulting in successful environmental projects and conservation measures. Also to promote leadership by example and in turn increase conservation of the natural resources of the State of Tennessee – its wildlife, forests, soils, water, natural heritage, parks and recreation, and air. In an effort to encompass the entire spectrum of environmental and conservation efforts, 14 award categories were eventually established and over the years the categories have changed names many times to better fit the type of nominations that were being received. These awards are the most prestigious environmental and conservation awards in the state. For over 20 years, the awards have been presented to individuals and organizations that make great contributions to the conservation of our wildlife and related natural resources, the natural elements upon which all life depends. The Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Awards is an evolving awards program that will continue to change as our environmental and conservation efforts and needs change. 3 1986 – 1994 Stewardship Award Winners 1986 Stewardship Award Winners 1987 Stewardship Award Winners Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous Waste Management Small Diversified Printing Corporation and Small Rhone‐Poulenc Eaton Corporation Axle Brake Division and Large Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation Carrier Air Conditioning Company Large C leo, Inc. 1988 Stewardship Award Winners 1989 Stewardship Award Winners Hazardous Waste Management Hazardo us Waste Management Small Cleveland Pneumatic Company and Small Thomas Industries Bendix‐Allied Signal Large TRW Ross Gear Large Texas Instruments 1990 Stewardship Award Winners 1991 Stewardship Award Winners Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous Waste Management Small Emerson Electric Large Ball Zinc Products Division and Great Dane Trailers Tennessee, Inc.
