Each year the Ohio Environmental Council (OEC) recognizes individuals, groups, and businesses that have made significant contributions to improving Ohio’s environment at their annual Environmental Achievement Awards ceremony.
At this year’s Environmental Achievement Awards, the City of Cincinnati will receive the “Public Servant” award for the implementation of several environmental initiatives in Cincinnati, which includes re-establishing the Office of Environmental Quality. At the same time, Communities United For Action (CUFA) will receive the “Environmental Watchdog” award for their work on spearheading the passage of the first environmental justice ordinance in the country.
The 40th Anniversary Green Gala dinner and awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, November 14 at the Columbus Athenaeum (map). Tickets can be purchased from $30 to $40 with group discounts available. To purchase your tickets today call the OEC at (614) 487-7506, or place your order online.
