The JRGBC’s 2007 Annual Leadership Awards Luncheon was a great success, with about 200 attendees on hand to hear keynote speaker Dennis Creech, Executive Director of Souhtface Energy Institute. After the luncheon, the attendees and general public were able to view the displays and exhibits in and around the Rotunda at the Science Museum of Virginia. Over 30 exhibitors were on hand to show green products. This full-day of Living Green was possible with the partnership of Style Weekly and concluded with Style Weekly’s Reader Poll Green Hero Emerald Awards for individuals who have made significant contributions to the environment. The JRGBC is very proud of its own Karl Bren who received the first award.
