Citizens Bank & WMUR-TV recognize The Center with “Champions in Action” award

The Center’s innovative approach to creating new economic incentives for conservation earned special recognition this summer when Citizens Bank & WMUR-TV recognized The Center as “Champions in Action®” for environmental impact.

Cathy Schmidt, president of Citizens Bank, New Hampshire, and Jeff Bartlett, general manager of WMUR-TV, presented the award during a ceremony at Plymouth State University.

The Champions in Action program recognizes and supports nonprofit organizations for their contributions to New Hampshire communities with an award of $25,000, media coverage, and extensive promotional and pro-bono support from Citizens Bank and WMUR-TV.
