GreenFiber Employees Selected for Built Green Colorado Hall of Fame
Denver, CO – October 22, 2003 – Two GreenFiber Employees were selected to join the Hall of Fame of Built Green Colorado, a program that encourages builders to build energy efficient homes while preserving natural resources. Dan Rizzo, Contractor Channel Manager, and Paul McCluskey, Contractor Territory Sales Manager were chosen among fifteen nominees because of their exemplary commitment to the Built Greenä program and their ability to educate builder clients on the importance of high-performance homes.
"What we look for in a Sponsor is not simply a company that will contribute dollars to our Program, but an active partner that aligns with our mission to recruit and educate builders. Greenfiber, and particularly Dan Rizzo and Paul McCluskey, have met and exceeded our expectations and have proven themselves to be the type of industry partners that we hope to have a relationship with for years to come" (Traci D'Alessio, State Coordinator, Built Green Colorado).
In addition to taking an active one-on-one role in educating a builder, Greenfiber made educational opportunities to the marketplace more available and affordable. They were instrumental in having Built Green partner with EEBA and E-Star for the Houses that Work seminar- by far the most successful training event Built Green Colorado has had to date.
Rizzo and McCluskey will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony held Thursday, October 23 in Denver in which the Built Green Award winners for 2003 will also be announced.
