The Four Generations of Leaders in Clean Energy & Sustainable Solutions Awards honor contributions being made by people of all ages, across the generations, in the clean energy and sustainability arena. We know that leadership and innovation have no age limit. When people – young and old, and in between – work together for good, amazing things happen!
