Linda S. Carter Award for Excellence in Government

The Linda S. Carter Award for Excellence in Government was established by NACRC in 2000 and named for a vibrant and energetic member who was serving as NACRC’s 2nd Vice President at the time of her death on August 28, 2000.

The passion with which Linda served Millard County, Utah, as their Recorder-Surveyor carried over to her involvements in her state association and NACRC.  Linda had a zest for life that was as contagious as her positive outlook.  She had a knack for instilling enthusiasm in those around her, even the reluctant participants.  People like Linda provide the strength of our organization; this award recognizes that type of service.
