On April 22, 2008, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors established an annual Green Leadership Award. Throughout Los Angeles County, residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, community groups and cities develop and employ innovative strategies and initiatives to enhance our environmental sustainability. The Green Leadership Award is designed to recognize such efforts and to create opportunities to engage and inspire our constituents about the strategies that make every day Earth Day.
The County of Los Angeles is now accepting applications for the 2012 “Green Leadership Awards” program. This program recognizes outstanding efforts to improve our environmental sustainability. Each year, residents, businesses and local organizations face challenges involving environmental issues in the County. The Board of Supervisors seeks to recognize the outstanding efforts to address these challenges.
The Green Leadership Award will be presented on Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Competition is open to all County of Los Angeles residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, professional and trade associations, communities, and state and local government entities.
Subject areas to consider include transportation, energy, water, sustainability, outreach and education. Award winners will be determined by a panel of judges representing relevant disciplines in the respective categories. Finalists will be contacted no later than April 1st. The deliberative process of the judges is confidential and all decisions are final. In the event that a judge has a close affiliation with an entry, they will withdraw from judging that entry. Judges’ decisions are solely based on the nomination forms and supporting documentation.
The program is open to all County residents, public agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations.
Guidelines and application can be found at http://qpc.co.la.ca.us/
