NATIONAL C.L.E.A.N.™ AWARD!

National C.L.E.A.N.™ Award
Custodial Leaders for Environmental Advocacy Nationwide

Applications for the 2nd annual national C.L.E.A.N. ™ Awards are now being accepted! 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).
