Commissioner Conner To Receive Conservation Award
The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. (PACD)
is proud to announce P. Scott Conner of Westmoreland County as its 2003
Elected Official Recognition Award recipient.
This annual award is presented to an elected official who has consistently
supported conservation issues and has made outstanding contributions
to the conservation of Pennsylvania's natural resources.
P. Scott Conner is a Westmoreland County Commissioner who also serves
on the Westmoreland County Conservation District board. One of Commissioner
Conner's greatest contributions has been his constant guidance, support,
and financial backing of the District's new Conservation Education Center.
The Commissioner has been described as "a man of integrity who
acts on his convictions."
The award was presented on August 6 at the County Commissioners Association
of Pennsylvania's awards ceremony in Philadelphia.
"I am honored to receive this award for the small part that I've
played; however, it is the outstanding work, through a team effort,
that makes the Conservation District of Westmoreland County an organization
in which we can all be very proud," said Conner. "It is easy
supporting an organization that is dedicated to providing outstanding
service to the community," he added.
The outstanding service the Westmoreland County Conservation District
provides is due, in part, to Commissioner Conner's work. For this, P.
Scott Conner is the 2003 Elected Official Recognition Award recipient.
PACD, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization representing Pennsylvania's
66 conservation districts. For more information on the PACD Conservation
