In 2012, the NCR-SARE Administrative Council created the NCR-SARE Hero Recognition to bring awareness of, recognize, and pay tribute to those who have made significant contributions to NCR-SARE.

Coordinated by the NCR-SARE Alumni Organization, this recognition will acknowledge the leadership, vision, contributions, and impact these heroes have made in the region's sustainable agriculture field.

Recognition Criteria Eligibility

To be nominated for this recognition, a person must have demonstrated:

  • Service to NCR-SARE and/or national SARE;
