ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP AWARDS COMMITTEE:
Each year, the NYS Association of Reduction, Reuse & Recycling Leadership Awards committee convenes each August to review nominations, considering both the individuals and the organizations they represent. The committee remains active through October and then prepares to announce the Awardees at the NYSAR3 Annual Meeting & Awards lunch, held in November. This year we are excited to present awards in each of our seven categories! If you are interested in working with this committee, please reach out to Info@NYSAR3.org.
Committee members include: Terry Laibach (Chair), Dianne Woske, Gary Feinland, Lynn Leopold, Kate Kitchener, Gary Carrel, Andrew Radin, Oscar Pinzon & Lori Whittington
To submit a nomination, watch for future newsletters, emails or updates on the website, in late Spring that will announce the nomination process.
