2025 Andrea Lawrence Award Dinner

Celebrate the legacy of Andrea Mead Lawrence—Olympic double gold medalist, mother of five, visionary environmental leader, 16-year Mono County Supervisor, and Mono Lake champion—with local leaders and advocates. Overlooking Mt Andrea Lawrence we will enjoy inspired conversation, dinner, and the presentation of the Andrea Lawrence Award for passionate engagement in community and the land. Proceeds from this event contribute to the Andrea Lawrence Fund, which promotes and celebrates passionate engagement in community and the land with an emphasis on encouraging collaboration and inspiring youth to become environmental leaders.

This year we are honoring Martha Guzman in recognition of her pivotal role in elevating the urgency of the Mono Lake 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.  

The event will be a time to honor public service and the critical work that government employees do for both communities and the land, and the critical role individuals can play in coalition building around the rules and regulations made to protect and restore our treasured natural resources—turning their work into more positive futures for people and public lands.
