\"\"One of the IHBC Marsh Awards<\/a> celebrates civic contributions by retired members, and offers \u00a3500 cash and a place at IHBC\u2019s Swansea 2023 School<\/a>, so our Liaison Officer is supporting our Branch network in promoting nominations.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2026 a special opportunity to highlight local civic and community benefits\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Jude Wheeler, Branch Liaison & Volunteer Support Officer said: \u2018This celebratory awards programme operates in a partnership with the Marsh Charitable Trust, with separate awards recognising successful heritage learning and the ongoing contributions by IHBC members to the public good after they have retired from professional practice.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018<\/u>Being of a certain age, encouraging our Branches to nominate a retired member it is one of my favourite remits!\u00a0 The \u2018Retired members\u2019 Award offers Branches a special opportunity to highlight local civic and community benefits brought by those retired members still active in their communities.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The nomination process is simple and I am also here to help!\u00a0 It also offers a great opportunity to recognise and celebrate the work of someone who has helped their community using their experience, expertise, and knowledge of conservation skills.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As well as the cash award \u2013 which also can be donated – there is the added incentive this year of an invitation to the winners to attend the IHBC\u2019s 2023 Annual School in Swansea, including accommodation, where Awards will be presented at the dinner on 23 June.\u2019<\/p>\n
