ISSP, the International Society of Sustainability Professionals, is inaugurating a professional award program to recognize individuals who have contributed significantly to the advancement of the profession of sustainability. This is to be an award granted to professionals by their peers – the members of ISSP.
We would like you to submit names of people who you feel have contributed to the profession through service, research, contribution of tools or materials, advancement of the case for sustainability, participation in the adoption of sustainability in sectors or regions, or contribution to the definition to the profession. You may nominate anyone you choose – someone you know personally or someone you know by reputation. The staff and sitting board members of ISSP are ineligible.*
We will be accepting nominations for this award from the members through December 10.
The winner will be invited to the Sept 21-23 ISSP conference next fall in Portland, Oregon to receive the award.
