WiN Awards

Women in NRCS (WiN) and Asian Pacific Islander Organization (APIO) are honored to accept the 2016 National NRCS Team/Group Civil Rights Award. The award recognizes a team or group who has made a significant contribution to the Natural Resources Conservation Service in the area of civil rights program delivery.


“What a great recognition, many WiN and APIO members contributed hours of team work and planning to make this award happen. We are all so fortunate to be part of this WiNNING Team! Looking forward to 2017 in Grapevine, Texas and the partnership with NOPHNRCSE and APIO.” – Christine Taliga, WiN Past President
