SACRAMENTO — The deadline to apply for the 2018 Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Awards (GEELA), the state’s highest environmental honor, has been extended until Tuesday, August 14.

To apply online, find the application at calepa.ca.gov/awards/geela/.

Submissions are being accepted from individuals, organizations and businesses that have demonstrated exceptional leadership for voluntary achievements in conserving California’s resources, protecting and enhancing the environment, building public-private partnerships, and strengthening the state’s economy.

GEELA recipients are chosen in five categories and one subcategory:

Competition is open to all California residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, professional and trade associations, communities, state and local government entities, tribes, and federal agencies operating in California. Those who applied previously are welcome to apply again.

Award recipients will be honored at a gala awards ceremony in December with government leaders and state legislators. Honorees will also be provided with the GEELA seal for use on their website and in materials that further establish their distinction as leaders in protecting and enhancing California’s environment.
