Pursell Pinnacle Award
Michigan Association of Extension Agents
The purpose of the Pursell Pinnacle Award for Outstanding Humanitarian service is to recognize an active NACAA member who has distinguished him/herself as an outstanding humanitarian in the area(s) in which they have lived and served, and who delivers effective Agricultural extension educational programing.
Each state is able to submit one nomination for an active member. Nominations are to be double spaced, typed essays of not more than 500 words describing the humanitarian activities and agricultural programs of the nominee.
Criteria:
- Weighted 65% on humanitarian activities outside one's normal Extension program, 35% on the overall quality of one's Extension program.
- Humanitarian activities may span any length of time and involve any type of service to one's community, person or group of persons but must be beyond normal call of duty.
- Quality of Extension Programs will include the scope, innovation and appropriateness of the nominee's program to the identified needs of the people and community within his or her assigned area or state.
Nominations are due into the National Association by March 1.
The Program Recognition Council should have the nominations in late February.
