Women in Sustainability Leadership Awards (WSLA)

— a program of green building & design magazine (gb&d)

The Women in Sustainability Leadership Awards (WSLA) is a program of green building & design magazine (gb&d). This is the publication’s top annual accolade, recognizing the most powerful women making a difference in the world through sustainability. WSLA is considered to be one of the most prestigious awards in the world and has been received by sustainability luminaries globally, including the USA, Mexico, Turkey, Hong Kong, and Pakistan. WSLA was created in 2014 by gb&d to create a more sustainable world by growing awareness, promoting advancement, and supporting the development of women in sustainability leadership. The awards were created around three key values: environmental stewardship, conduit for change, and giving back. The award is judged by gb&d magazine, the Women in Sustainability Leadership Alumnae group, and leadership at the USGBC and the ILFI. If you are interested in applying for this award, please do so during the application period which starts in August each year.

During GreenBuild 2017, the Women in Sustainability Leadership Award (WSLA) Alumnae Group was created. The newly formed group comprises past winners of gb&d magazine’s top annual accolade, which recognizes women making a difference in the world through sustainability.

The alumnae group extends the impact of the WSLA through a formal network that enables the women to collaborate, specifically through mentorship. By empowering even more women to lead, the WSLA Alumnae Group is leveraging its collective knowledge, power and experience to cultivate the next generation of sustainability leaders.

All tax deductible donations will go directly toward funding the WSLA Alumnae Group mentorship programs. Your contribution pays for scholarships for aspiring women to experience  the International Living Future Institute’s UnConference and GreenBuild with an accomplished sustainability leader.  The mentees will be introduced to world class discussions and a dynamic network of leaders at the conferences with the support of a seasoned professional, helping the newcomers learn, build confidence, and reach their potential more quickly.
