Dear Friend,
Our Nominating Committee is pleased to announce our Four Generation Awardees below.  We were thrilled to receive a large number of impressive nominees and were heartened by their excellent work. Thanks to all who submitted these nominations. We are also recognizing a number of "Emerging Leaders" whose initiatives are in their early stages and show great promise.

This year’s theme is…
“Alliances for Action: Coalitions, Collaborations, and Partnerships.”

Why We Honor Four Generations: LE believes in harnessing the talents of all Four Generations – a collaboration across the ages – to advance clean energy and sustainable solutions for the environment encompassing technological, economic, and social innovation. 

Join us at the Pepco Edison Place Gallery on Friday, December 6th, 6:00 - 9:00 pm, to be inspired by our awardees and also make intriguing new friends who care as much as you do about clean energy and sustainability, locally and globally, and who love to talk about it and act on it! Meet those who are working in green careers, green businesses, and clean energy and sustainability solutions!
