Chicago, July 16 -- The Women in Sustainability Alumnae Group is inviting nominations for the The Women in Sustainability Leadership Award (WSLA) by July 20. WSLA, sponsored by gb&d magazine’s, recognizes the women making a difference in the world through sustainability. The award was created by gb&d in 2014 to grow awareness, promote advancement, and support the development of women leaders. The award, now in its fifth year, is judged by gb&d magazine, members of the Women in Sustainability Leadership Alumnae group, and leadership at the USGBC.
During GreenBuild 2017, Rochelle Routman, Metroflor’s chief sustainability officer, spearheaded the formation of the WSLA Alumnae Group, comprised of past winners, to extend the impact of the WSLA by creating a formal network that would enable the women to collaborate and together create positive change in the world, specifically through mentorship. By empowering even more women to lead, WSLA Alumnae Group is leveraging its collective knowledge, power and experience to cultivate the next generation of sustainability leaders.
