Submit your nominations for 2009 green leaders

As the nation turns toward developing new energy strategies, San Diego’s sustainable energy leaders are guiding the way. If you know of a local business, organization, government agency, homeowner or individual deserving recognition for their sustainable energy practices, you can nominate them for CCSE’s sixth annual SANDEE (San Diego Excellence in Energy) Awards.

The SANDEEs are the premier annual awards for acknowledging San Diegans who have made a significant commitment to energy efficiency, energy conservation, renewable energy or greenhouse gas reduction. In addition, those in search of recognition for their sustainable energy-efficiency projects should look no further. We encourage people to nominate their own business, organization or agency.

Nominations for the prestigious 2009 SANDEEs are due by Jan. 18, 2010. A panel of energy experts and industry leaders will serve on the selection committee. All SANDEE Award winners will be recognized at a reception to be held March 25, 2010.
