Urban Green Council relies on the dedication of many industry leaders, experts, and volunteers to advance our initiatives. Each year, we celebrate these extraordinary efforts at two key events: Annual Service Awards and our Annual Gala. This year we also introduced a new competition, the EBie Awards.
Over 300 friends and colleagues joined Urban Green Council at Tribeca Rooftop on December 6th for our 10th Anniversary Gala to honor the work of Geraud Darnis and Bob Fox.
Geraud Darnis President & CEO, UTC Climate, Controls & Security
