2010 Energy Leadership Awards Criteria
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 or Congressional Reception; therefore, the winners must be present.
Members of the Forum Executive Council select these individuals after reviewing application entries and supporting materials. Awards are presented in the following categories:
- Public Service Award - Recognizes a current or former elected or non-elected federal, state or local government public servant who has motivated action to addressing energy efficiency in government operations and has served as an advocate of energy efficiency.
- Mayor's Award - Recognizes a current or former holder of a citylevel elective office who has made a significant contribution to energy efficiency at the city government level.
- Congressional Award - Recognizes a current or former member of Congress who has contributed to legislative achievements that encourage energy efficiency gains, particularly in federal government activities.
- Governor's Award - Recognizes a current or former holder of a state-level elective office who has made a significant contribution to energy efficiency at the state government level.
- International Award - Recognizes a current or former international, federal or state public official who has encouraged energy efficiency internationally.
- Douglas Decker Lifetime Achievement Award - This very special award is made only in those years in which an individual fitting any of the other categories has made such a significant, continuing contribution to the development and stability of our energy sources and preservation of the world's environment through energy efficiency gains that they deserve this recognition.
