Henry Bellmon was a farmer, statesman and conservationist. As a proud Oklahoman he was a man of integrity and a nonconformist who did his homework and then voted his conscience, regardless of party politics or popular opinion.

In honor of his memory, Sustainable Tulsa and the Tulsa Southside Rotary Club and Foundation have joined together to create the Henry Bellmon Sustainability Awards. Both Sustainable Tulsa and the Tulsa Southside Rotary Club and Foundation are focused on assisting Tulsa to create a more livable community in which to raise our families.

Our collaborative mission for the Henry Bellmon Sustainability Awards is to raise awareness and reward those people, agencies, organizations, or companies that dedicate themselves to a balanced approach toward quality of life for all, responsible economic growth, and environmental stewardship.
