HRES held its Leadership Awards dinner on October 20, 2022. Annually, our awards program recognizes the contributions that individuals have made toward providing a better understanding of the environmental issues facing the citizens of the Hudson Valley.

2020

  • Isaac Wirgin, Ph.D., Outstanding Environmental Researcher
  • Laura Heady, Outstanding Environmental Communicator

2021

  • Melissa Everett, Ph.D., Outstanding Practitioner

2022

This dinner was the first in-person event that HRES has held since October 2019. We want to thank the attendees who braved the weather on a chilly October night and participated in our “under the tent” event at the Ole Savannah Restaurant in Kingston on the Rondout Creek.
