A special awards ceremony will conclude the Embracing Resiliency Symposium on September 25th.

2020  has been a challenging year in many ways including the pandemic, economic instability, racial injustice, and climate.

Although we could not host SustainPHL in person this year, there are exceptional Philadelphians that deserve recognition of their efforts rising above and beyond.

We are hosting a special SustainPHL awards portion to conclude our Embracing Resiliency Symposium at 4 PM. Our committee reviewed nominations for candidates that are rising up to the urgent challenges of 2020.

Join us at the Embracing Resiliency Symposium on 9/25. Award Recipients will be announced at 4 PM.
