Is Your Company a Diamond in the Rough?

We'll never know unless you tell us.

Think your facility has what it takes to bring home the 2010 Arkansas Environmental Federation’s Diamond Award for Excellence in Environmental Leadership? You'll soon have your chance to prove it!

Each fall, an independent panel of judges is appointed by the AEF Board of Directors to determine the winner of the prestigious award which recognizes a company demonstrating initiative and innovative leadership in environmental affairs. The winning company will receive a beautiful crystal and walnut trophy that can be displayed in your company’s reception area. Additionally, the winner will be invited to make a presentation during the AEF’s 43rd Annual Trade Show and Trade Show to be held Nov. 4 & 5 at the Hot Springs Convention Center.
