The Great Green Gala is the signature function for local sustainable business professionals in Michigan’s Great Southwest. Launched last year to fill a need for a a high-profile sustainability networking and awards function in Southwest Michigan, the Great Green Gala is our opportunity to spotlight local organizations and professionals that are driving positive outcomes for their environment, community and economy.

This year’s gala will be hosted at Box Factory for the Arts and will feature The Green Family Feud, a comedy and entertainment game customized for our sustainability community. The program will also feature dinner, bar of beer and wine, and door prize packages.

This year’s guest of honor is J.B. Hoyt of JBH Strategies, our 2018 Sustainable Leadership Award honoree. Also being honored for their contributions to local sustainability are Whirlpool, The Livery, and the Ox Creek Watershed Initiative.

Individual tickets are $65.
