Anne and Arthur Berndt Award

The Anne & Arthur Berndt Award is named after EAN’s founders and recognizes an EAN member who has demonstrated vision, leadership, and commitment to creating a renewable energy future for Vermont. It is awarded on an annual basis to individuals or organizations that have shown bold leadership in support of efforts to transform Vermont’s energy system towards one based on efficiency and renewables.
 
If you’d like to nominate a Network member (individual or organization) for the Anne & Arthur Berndt award, the deadline is Sunday, August 15.
