When you build multi-year partnerships, two things become evident: culture and consistency.
This is our fourth year supporting the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA)'s events and programs. While I certainly enjoy tapping into the warm rapport we've built, what really fires me up is being part of their traditions.
The folks at NEEA are really, REALLY good at celebrating their own, spotting leaders in their field, and slowing down to smell the roses.
At the 2025 Leadership in Energy Efficiency Awards, the honorees included:
Rising Star Award: April Cannon of ASK Energy
Innovative Collaboration Award: Holly Braun of NW Natural
Tom Eckman Lifetime Achievement Award: Ken Robinette of the South Central Community Action Partnership
Chairperson’s Award: John Hairston of the Bonneville Power Administration
It makes sense that NEEA and Human Centric Media have built such a fruitful partnership because we're aligned on what matters: the light in our eyes when we see a trusted colleague, and the innovation that's possible when you nurture and celebrate those connections.
Far too much event media has nothing to say other than "this happened!" You pour energy and resources into the venue, the food and the programming for one reason: to support the RELATIONSHIPS.
That's why we've built our new Signature Event Suite ($4K) to center emotionality and connection. It's a wraparound solution featuring media before, after and during your event .. helping mission-driven organizations promote their programming, sell tickets or attract long-term sponsorships.
