will be held on
Tuesday, October 7, 2025
in honor of
Ben Grumbles and the Environmental Council of the States
In an era of complex environmental challenges strong state leadership is more important than ever.
As the forum for state environmental leaders to address critical environmental challenges, ECOS plays a vital role in shaping national dialogue. Since taking the helm in 2022, Ben Grumbles has further strengthened ECOS’ collaborative spirit, fostering meaningful dialogue on key issues during a pivotal time for our planet. ELI is thrilled to recognize them for their outstanding contributions to bipartisan environmental leadership and policy.
