John Kabler Memorial Award
Established in 2001, the John V. Kabler Memorial Award honors the vision and accomplishments of John V. Kabler (1942-1996). Motivated to act on behalf of the environment in the wake of the Three Mile Island crisis in the late 1970s, Kabler inspired a handful of his environmental colleagues to become active in political campaigns. Together these leaders founded the Maryland League of Conservation Voters in 1979. Until his death in 1996, Kabler was a key leader of the Maryland conservation movement.

 

Past recipients of the John V. Kabler Memorial Award include Governor Parris Glendening, U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes, Maryland Senator Brian Frosh, EPA Administrator Russell Train, the Chesapeake Waterkeepers, and U.S. Senator Joseph Tydings.
