About Clean Air Champions
As the lead air quality planning agency for the Metro Denver/North Front Range Ozone Nonattainment Area, the RAQC created the Clean Air Champions Recognition Program. The RAQC recognizes leaders and businesses that demonstrate a commitment to improving the region’s air quality. Each year, these champions are celebrated at the RAQC’s Clean Air Happy Hour. The RAQC has identified the following categories of champions:
Board Champion
Board Champions are members of the RAQC’s board that have demonstrated a particular dedication to the governance or promotion of the RAQC and its programs.
Business Champion
Business Champions go above and beyond to partner with nonprofits, donate to causes, or implement and promote programs to make a positive impact on air quality in the Denver Metro/North Front Range Ozone Nonattainment Region.
Community Champion
Community Champions are residents or community organizations in the ozone nonattainment region that exemplify a commitment to improving air quality in the community.
Legislative Champion
Legislative Champions advocate for better air quality in the state legislature – ensuring a future in which the residents of the ozone nonattainment region can breathe easy.
Local Government Champion
Local Government Champions use their position of leadership to benefit their communities by prioritizing air quality improvement.
