According to Roe , the first event of this kind was held in 1978 . Shaw offered to contact Roe to learn about that event and to report back . Members discussed ways of involving students . One idea was distributing the SOE report to ninth grade teachers and asking them to use the contents for student projects . Another idea was to have a student poster contest at the next summit . Members discussed the idea of establishing an Orange County environmental issues listserve to publicize events , including future summits , and to publicize the SOE report findings and recommendations . Members discussed the proposed Conservation Award and the reasons for eliminating it from this year ' s summit . It was noted that the nomination process and selection criteria had been finalized . It was suggested that the CfE discuss with Commissioner Gordon to get a better sense of how to gain BOCC authorization to move forward with this project . It was decided that the Environmental Education Committee would take the lead , including finding out the process used by another advisory board for the annual Pauli Murray Human Relations award . [ That award is administered by the Orange County Human Relations Commission] Page 2 of 7 Draft April 14 , 2003
