The Lone Star Chapter congratulates Dr. Ken Kramer for receiving the Maxine Johnston Distinguished Service Award at the Big Thicket Association’s 51st Annual Meeting in Beaumont, Texas. Dr. Kramer was among several individuals receiving honors at the October 10 meeting, and was recognized for his years of work with the Sierra Club.
Dr. Kramer retired from his position as the first director of the Lone Star Chapter after 23 years in 2012. He now volunteers as chair of the chapter’s Water Conservation Committee, and also serves on state’s Water Conservation Advisory Council, the University of Texas at Austin’s Advisory Council for the Environmental Science Institute, and the Texas Water Foundation Board, among others.
The Big Thicket Association has been advocating for the southeast Texas forest since 1964, and ten years later helped establish the Big Thicket National Preserve, the first preserve created by the National Park Service. For more information, visit www.bigthicket.org.
Cheers, Ken!
