Missouri Basement Waterproofing Expert Nominated For Growing Green Award

St. Louis, MO - The 2011 Growing Green Awards Celebration is commemorating Woods Basement Systems along with other nominees from six categories, who all contribute to making the local region greener, "one building at a time."

Woods Basement Systems is a nominee in the Residential category, which considers those who work to make residential buildings (of at least 30 units) more sustainable - whether single or multi-family units.

This year's Growing Green Awards Celebration, being held March 30 from 6-10 p.m. is the third annual celebration. The event will be held at NEO at 2801 Locust Avenue, St. Louis, MO. Rick Fedrizzi, president and CEO of the national U.S. Green Building Council will be the keynote speaker.

The six categories of nominees includes: innovator, residential, government, educator, corporate, and non-profit. A winner from each category will be chosen by four industry leaders apart from the Missouri territory in addition to two prior Growing Green Award winners.

Judges will make their choices depending upon the following criteria: "the intent of the submitted category, exhibiting a transformative roll in the built environment, defining a clear vision of goals, exemplifying innovation and creativity, demonstrating progressive sustainability methods, communicating a clear and compelling message, and supporting documentation of submission."
