2010 National C.L.E.A.N.™ Award
Custodial Leaders for Environmental Advocacy Nationwide
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2010 C.L.E.A.N. Award
The National C.L.E.A.N. ™ Awards program recognizes the contributions that custodians make to public health in their schools, communities, and their profession. Awards will be presented to school custodians who demonstrate outstanding leadership in the field of school cleanliness, and who reflect the contributions that education support professionals (ESP) can make to public health. The award program is a joint initiative of the National Education Association (NEA), the NEA Health Information Network (NEA HIN) and the Soap and Detergent Association (SDA).
Congratulations to the 2009 C.L.E.A.N. ™ Award winners! See how these custodians make a difference in their schools and communities with innovative cleaning concepts. Click here to read about their efforts!
