Read about the 2025 Inspiring Sustainability Award Nominees

We're excited to announce the nominees for the 15th annual Inspiring Sustainability Awards! For 15 years, this event has recognized individuals and organizations that have made a lasting impact on sustainability in our community and beyond. What an amazing milestone!

This year, thanks to your nominations, we have 16 outstanding nominees. Our Executive Board will now review these nominations and select one individual and one organizational winner. The winners will be announced live at our awards event on October 28th from 6-8 PM at the La Crosse Distilling Co., a past Inspiring Sustainability Award winner.

The Inspiring Sustainability Awards carry on a tradition that began in 2010 with Coulee Partners for Sustainability's Harvest Dinner. Since then, over 30 leaders and projects have been publicly recognized for their inspiring work. We look forward to celebrating this year's nominees and their incredible contributions to a more sustainable future.

Congrats to each nominee!
