• Innovation Award: Acknowledging pioneers at the forefront of technical innovation and novel approaches to brownfield redevelopment.  These visionaries passionately create solutions across various facets of the brownfield space, developing tools that enhance lives.  Their significant roles in overcoming challenges reflect a commitment to diversity, collaboration, and leadership, while shaping innovative solutions for the industry.

• Emerging Leaders Award: Recognizing remarkable developing professionals who are newer to the brownfield world and have become integral pillars in advancing the brownfield practice.  These rising stars offer valuable insights into programs, policies and practices that significantly propel the industry forward.  As community and local leaders, they are not only making a name for themselves but also infusing vitality and vigor into the realm of brownfield renewal.
