The event will be emceed by SRL’s new Executive Director, Ryan Schutz. “I’ve seen first-hand the power of local grassroots activism to make a real impact. That’s why I am so excited to recognize local heroes that are working so hard to drive and inspire positive community action,” Ryan said.
“The work that SRL is doing to move local and regional action on climate change is paramount to our ability to continue a high quality of life here on the Front Range and beyond.
