[OR_Archaeology] Heritage Excellence Award nomination deadline- Jan. 20

[Susan White]

End of year holiday celebrations will soon be in full swing and one of the ways Oregonians can look back with pride on 2008 is to recognize outstanding efforts carried out by individuals, businesses, and organizations on behalf of Oregon's heritage. 
 
With only a month away from the deadline to submit nominations for the 2009 Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards, Heritage Commission coordinator Kyle Jansson is encouraging citizens throughout the state to look around their communities and identify examples of dedicated work having taken place that highlight aspects of Oregon's heritage.
 
"Important heritage work-which can be in progress for years-goes unnoticed by the community-at-large because those individuals or organizations spearheading the work are so busy with a given heritage project," said Jansson, "the annual Heritage Excellence Awards program provides the opportunity to say 'Congratulations and thank you for your service' to those folks who deserve recognition."
 
Award nominations should be postmarked no later than Jan. 20. 
 
A complete nomination package, which includes an application and other supporting material, is available at www.oregonheritage.org ( http://www.oregonheritage.org ). Click on "2009 Heritage Awards" under the heading News and Events.

To request mailing a nomination package, contact David Bogan by calling 503-986-0671, or email Heritage.Programs at state.or.us.
 
Nominations should identify exceptional and meritorious work. Special consideration is given to the development of new ideas, approaches and innovations in heritage-related activities. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards are also intended to honor those who have made the most from available resources and skills.
 
The 2009 Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards will be presented at the Northwest History and Heritage Extravaganza on April 17 in Portland by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's Heritage Programs division, which includes the Oregon Heritage Commission and the State
Historic Preservation Office.
