2009 DVGBC Leadership Award Recipients

Philadelphia, PA – The Delaware Valley Green Building Council Announces the 2009 Leadership Award recipients.

The Association Puertoriquenos en Marcha, a Latino-based health, human services and community development organization, earned the Nonprofit Leadership Award for its commitment to developing blighted lots and properties throughout eastern North Philadelphia.

PECO earned the Business Leadership Award, primarily for sustainable initiatives like its green rooftop in downtown Philly and the LED overhaul of its Crown Lights program on the side of the utility behemoth’s building.

This year DVGBC also honored the legacy of John Partridge, LEED AP, AIA by establishing an annual leadership award in his name. This year Jim Lutz, the senior VP of development for Liberty Property Trust, earned the John Partridge Leadership Award. Lutz works for the $5.4 billion real estate investment trust headquartered in Philadelphia, which has become a leader in sustainable development, particularly its Philadelphia projects like One Crescent Drive (the nation's first LEED platinum-certified building) and the Comcast Center.
