Hall of Fame

CTIC Hall of Fame

 
Innovators, trailblazers, mentors, and visionaries in conservation agriculture are integral to who we are at CTIC. Without these leaders, we wouldn’t be where we are.
 
Therefore, it is fitting that at our flagship event, the Conservation in Action Tour, we pause to recognize those who have laid a foundation for CTIC and conservation agriculture. We are proud to honor these leaders with their induction into the CTIC Hall of Fame. 
 
Nomination forms for 2026 will be available later this year.
 
Eligibility Guidelines:
1) Individual who has provided significant contributions of time and talent directly advancing CTIC’s mission as a member, former board director, partner or former staff; or
2) Individual or partnership who has championed conservation agriculture regionally or nationally through advances in science, technology, or communications; or
3) A conservation farmer or rancher innovator who has led by example in their operation with emphasis in CIA Tour host state (North Carolina 2026).
