Description of Individual or organization
Texas Honeybee Guild members are among the area's most effective advocates for urban agriculture issues.
Leadership (Nominee demonstrates leadership through example, knowledge, attitude)
Guild members are among the most high profile supporters of a broad range of local environmental initiatives - everything from a more citizen friendly Farmer's Market to the Dallas Green Alliance. Their support and leadership has been critical to the success of those initiatives as well as providing a model of ecumenical involvement in a wide variety of good causes.
Environmental Impact (Nominee demonstrates a positive impact on the local environment via policy change, product offering, significant volunteer contribution, or other achievement)
On many fronts. Their own proselytizing on behalf of bee/pollinators culture is legend. Likewise their network of urban agriculture interests and chefs. They were critical to the financial success of the Dallas Green Alliance PAC. They're often the only common denominator for many different people and entities that should know each other - but don't.
Community Impact (Nominee demonstrates commitment to DFW green community through involvement with causes, business ventures or organizations)
See above.
Other reasons for your nomination
They are reliable, steadfast and dedicated to the local scene. They launch and link all kinds of efforts that they don't have to. And they have got to be among the most centered people on the planet.
