The Portland Cement Association has announced an initiative to recognize public officials who take the lead in green building. The annual PCA Sustainable Leadership Awards will honor government leaders who advance sustainable development in their communities through the use of concrete and cement-based products.
PCA encourages all members of the concrete industry to submit nominations. Four categories will be recognized. The Leadership in Sustainability Policy Award honors public officials who advance policies that promote the concept of sustainable development. Three other award categories honor public officials who utilize cement or cement-based products to achieve sustainable benefits for projects in three categories: Homes and Residential Building, Nonresidential Building, and Infrastructure. The deadline to submit final entries is May 30, 2008.
