The Evening showcases the Recipient of the Thomas P. Shelburne Environmental Leadership Award, which was established to recognize an individual who stands out for his or her long-term commitment to environmental quality through inspirational leadership, dedication, and commitment to partnering.
The 2021 Emerging Environmental Leader Award will also be awarded to a youth who demonstrates young environmental leadership, creativity, and dedication to inspire others to adopt similar actions to protect the environment.
