More Information:
The Energy Leadership Awards were established in 1991 to recognize public officials who have provided exemplary leadership in instituting and advancing energy efficiency in the United States and abroad. The awards are presented at the annual United States Energy Association/Johnson Controls Energy Efficiency Forum; therefore, the winner must be present to receive it.
A person must be nominated by a peer or self-nominated. A subcommittee of the Forum Planning Committee will review the nomination forms and make recommendations. Members of the Forum Planning Committee will vote on the final award winners, who will be notified before the event.
