Andrea Lawrence Award Dinner, May 8, 2025: Tickets now on sale

We hope you’ll join us for our annual celebration of fellow community members who embody the Andrea Lawrence Award spirit of passionate engagement in community and the land.

This year we will honor Martha Guzman in recognition of her pivotal role in elevating the urgency of the Mono Lake low-lake level issue by bringing critical agencies together to collaboratively move toward a State Water Board hearing while in her position as the Environmental Protection Agency’s Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator in 2024.   

Andrea Lawrence Award Dinner
5:30 pm on Friday, May 8, 2025
Parallax Restaurant, McCoy Station
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area

The event will be a time to honor and celebrate public service and the critical work that government employees do for both communities and the land, and the critical role individuals can play in building coalitions around the rules and regulations made to protect and restore our treasured natural resources.  

Please reserve your ticket before April 4 with a $100 donation online here, or by calling (760) 647-6595.
