Ensuring the Future by Acting in the Present
Congrats: Lori to be honored tonight by Camden County FreeholdersAt a public meeting this Thursday, the Camden County Board of Freeholders will pay tribute to Lori Braunstein, executive director of Sustainable Cherry Hill (SCH). Braunstein will be the recipient of a Community Service Award on March 19 for her dedication to the community and her leadership of one of the area’s most influential nonprofits. Since helping to found Sustainable Cherry Hill as part of the municipality’s Green Action Plan in March 2008, Braunstein has presided over the organization’s growth into a 501(c)(3) that boasts nearly 700 community supporters and a board of more than 25 local and regional stakeholders. “Lori Braunstein’s vision, energy, dedication to her community, and ability to bring together stakeholders from throughout the region has resulted in a noteworthy nonprofit organization unique to Camden County,” said Freeholder Jeffrey Nash. “Though only in existence for a year, Sustainable Cherry Hill has already had a tremendous impact on the township, educating residents on sustainability and rallying them around the mission to forge a sustainable future.” From planning, organizing and hosting educational events throughout the year to holding a monthly “Green Drinks” environmental networking happy hour, Braunstein has striven to engage residents and offer everyone a way to participate in working toward what she considers a vital goal – creating a truly sustainable community. “Lori has worked tirelessly to make a difference in Cherry Hill, and she is succeeding,” said Mayor Bernie Platt. “We have been actively going green at the municipal level, but it’s critical that our constituents buy into the concept and understand its importance as well. Through Sustainable Cherry Hill, Lori has significantly furthered that goal and put Cherry Hill on the map as a community leading South Jersey’s sustainability movement.” The Freeholders’ meeting will be held at the Cherry Hill Public Library, 1100 Kings Hwy North, at 7 p.m. For more information, call the Camden County Freeholders office at (856) 225-5085. I urge you all to come out and show your support for Lori and SCH!
