Vote for your favorite green volunteers and leaders in North Texas. The top three finalists will be judged by a panel. Winners will be announced at the Green Source DFW Sustainable Leadership Awards on Nov. 3 at the Dallas Arboretum.
Groups with a passion to improve the energy, water, air, land, landfill diversion, composting, recycling, zero waste, zeroscape and all other topics related to environmental awareness are invited.

Monthly Agenda

11:30-12:00 CCL Monthly Actions Practice
12:00 - 1:00 National Call
Each month CCL volunteers from around the country gather locally for a conference call where we do three things: educate ourselves by listening to a guest speaker, celebrate our accomplishments, take coordinated action.
August speaker: Sam Daley-Harris, Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation.
Harris will join our August call and coach us on best practices to ensure that our actions have the greatest impact with members of Congress. After 15 years with RESULTS, Sam founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign, which he left in 2012 to establish the Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation.
