2023 Nominations
Deadline Friday, May 24 2024
INTRODUCTION
Section 110(h) of the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. 306110) directs the Secretary of the Interior to establish an annual award program to recognize the outstanding contributions in historic preservation. The Secretary’s award is distinguished from other historic preservation award programs because it is statutorily mandated as a Cabinet-level recognition; focuses on the accomplishments of individual employees whose work enhanced and/or improved historic preservation in their agency, state, tribal, or local government; and recognizes the contributions of employees at multiple levels of government. The award comes with a special citation and a monetary award of $1,000.
ELIGIBILITY
Officers and employees of Federal Preservation Offices, State Historic Preservation Offices, Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, and Certified Local Governments are eligible for the award. The officer or employee must have worked in the office for which they are being nominated at least part of the 2023 calendar year. The nominated work need not be limited to 2023.
All nominations submitted require a letter verifying that the candidates are not subject to any disciplinary action by their employer for violation of conduct standards, ethical standards, or any other applicable policies and/or Federal laws, rules or regulations. Sample language is provided below for reference.
CRITERIA
The award recognizes special achievements by employees of federal, state, tribal, and local preservation programs who have made outstanding contributions to the preservation of historic places. Nominees must be individuals whose contributions surpass the expected scope of their position, and whose creativity and expertise have significantly fostered the overall goals of the National Historic Preservation Act. In your nomination, please describe the significant achievements for which the employee is being nominated and how their accomplishments have helped the Federal Agency, State Historic Preservation Office, Tribal Historic Preservation Office or Certified Local Government fulfill and improve their preservation program responsibilities and/or requirements.
