Since 2011, the PA IPL Board has selected an awardee and presented a Visionary Award at the annual meeting following each annual conference.
Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light Visionary Award
This award is presented annually to a Pennsylvania visionary who has engaged in significant actions “to tend and sustain” the earth and all its creatures. The recipient of this award has called us all to be more mindful of the moral and ethical consequences of our actions, helping to protect the natural environment from the threat of climate change and preserve it for generations to come.
