Twelve national industry leaders were named as candidates for this year’s Hanley Award for Vision and Leadership in Sustainable Housing, the industry’s premier award for deep and lasting contributions to sustainability that includes a $50,000 award grant. Last year’s recipient was Edward Mazria, founder of the non-profit Architecture 2030. This year’s award will be presented at the USGBC Hanley Award Dinner, Nov. 17, during the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Chicago.
Official nominations for the award were submitted by a select committee: Phil Crone, director, Green Built Texas; Jean Dimeo, chief editor, EcoHomemagazine.com; Michelle Kaufmann, AIA, LEED AP; Don Carr, senior advisor, NAHB Research Center Green Building Program; and Gail Vittori, co-director, Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems. Eligible nominees are residential construction industry professionals or those working in technical research, product development, educational outreach, environmental advocacy, governmental policy, and related areas, who have made deep, long-standing, and influential commitments to sustainability, or significant and lasting contributions to the widespread implementation of environmental building concepts, techniques, and innovations in advancing sustainable housing in the United States.
