Press Release from the California Water Impact Network (C-WIN):
The Dorothy Green and Dan Bacher Awards Recognize Key Figures in the Fight for Water Equity
The California Water Impact Network has announced it is accepting nominations for the first annual Dorothy Green Water Equity Award and the Dan Bacher Public Trust Communications Award. The awards recognize advocates for water policy reform and journalists who cover the issue; a $1,000 honorarium is included in the journalism award.
“We’ve named these awards after C-WIN’s co-founder Dorothy Green to highlight her illustrious legacy in environmental advocacy, and board member Dan Bacher to recognize his 40 years of dedicated reporting on critical water and fisheries issues,” said Carolee Krieger, the organization’s executive director.
“Dorothy was a seminal figure in the water policy reform movement, and no one has covered the fisheries and water beat more faithfully and for so long as Dan,” Krieger said. “These awards will honor other champions who advocate for equitable water distribution and inform Californians on these critical public trust issues.”
C-WIN is now accepting nominations for the 2024 recipients. The winners will be announced in May 2025.
