Award
Description
While
Performance
Track
rewards
all
members
for
their
commitment
to
improving
their
role
in
protecting
the
environment,
we
would
like
to
offer
a
special
award
to
current
members/
partners
who
are
educating
the
public
and
encouraging
prospective
facilities
to
join
Performance
Track.

Educating
prospective
facilities
on
the
merits
of
joining
the
program
helps
build
Performance
Track,
which
in
turn
provides
additional
benefits
as
more
and
more
facilities
make
commitments
to
continuous
environmental
improvement.
Through
the
Outreach
Award,
we
want
to
show
our
appreciation
to
facilities
that
continually
work
to
strengthen
Performance
Track.
