LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — Today, the Nevada Conservation League announced the winners of its annual Home Means Nevada fundraiser gala awards dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
The gala celebrates the legislative and policy wins NCL has helped progress for our environment. It also recognizes exceptional state leaders who worked to better protect our climate, air, water, land, and health.
The winners will attend the Home Means Nevada 2024 Awards Dinner with Congresswoman Susie Lee, Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell, and other conservation leaders.
This year, the organization will award the following community leaders who share a vision for a better climate future:
The Harry Reid Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes an exemplary individual in Nevada’s conservation community who promotes all forms of environmental advocacy. It will be awarded to long-time conservation advocate Rebecca Wagner, who has been at the forefront of clean energy policy in Nevada for 27 years. Wagner served as a Nevada Governor’s Office of Energy Director and a commissioner for the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada.
The Green Guardian Award recognizes those dedicated to increasing access to a healthier and cleaner environment for Nevadans. It will be awarded to the Nevada Clean Energy Fund, a nonprofit organization created in 2017 by state legislation to serve as Nevada’s Green Bank where it addresses clean energy market gaps and financial barriers, focusing on historically underserved communities.
The Green Business of the Year Award recognizes locally based companies that prioritize environmental consciousness in their practices. Sol-Up, a full-service energy solution and conservation company helping Nevadans transition to clean energy since 2009, will receive it.
