The 2012 ForeverGreen Gala was held on October 19th to recognize colleagues, innovative projects and leaders in green building throughout our region.
Marcus Sheffer was the founding chair of the organization for its first five years and served on the board of directors for a total of 10 years. In addition his employees have all served as volunteers on the board and various chapter committees and are given work time to perform their duties. During the award ceremony Bill Sutton, current board chair, referred to Marcus as the “godfather of green” in our region. Marcus received the Sustainable Steward Award for Lifetime Achievement and insists he is far too young to be getting any lifetime achievement awards.
