Canon Envirothon

Each year, extensive organization and planning is required at all levels to ensure the success of the Envirothon . All organizational levels of the Envirothon program must work together to promote the program, raise funds to cover program expenses, organize and conduct Envirothon competitions, and recruit advisors and teams to participate in the program.

The following chart illustrates how the Canon Envirothon organization is governed.

Canon Envirothon Representatives (CEC) are representatives from all the member states and provinces who oversee the policies and guidelines for Canon Envirothon.

Canon Envirothon Board of Directors (CEBOD) is comprised of seven CECs including five officers (i.e., Chairperson, Chair-elect, Secretary, Treasurer, and Past Chairperson), a U.S. Representative At-Large, and a Canadian Representative At-Large. The CEBOD manages funding for Canon Envirothon and oversees the activities and progress of the Canon Envirothon Committee, Canon Envirothon Subcommittees, and Canon Envirothon Host Committee.

The Envirothon program is structured to allow individual states/provinces maximum flexibility to individualize their program. The State/Provincial Envirothon Committee acts as the voting body for the state/provincial Envirothon program and establishes the policies and administrative structure. Some of the committee's responsibilities include:

State/Province Envirothon Representatives are primarily concerned with the planning, organization, and promotion of Envirothon competitions at the local/regional level. The committee works closely with local conservation district and resource associations to accomplish the objectives of the Envirothon program.
