����logo of Florida Executive Director Eric Draper said, “The Theodore Roosevelt award is reserved for public figures committed to protection of Florida’s natural heritage.”

We are honored to present Commissioner Judah with our highest conservation award.”

The annual ����logo Assembly is Florida’s signature conservation event and attracts more than 300 conservation leaders and public officials from around the state.
