Valley CAN Launches Business Recognition Program
Program will promote voluntary achievements
Valley CAN today launched its Business
Recognition Program to acknowledge and promote San
Joaquin Valley businesses and industries that voluntarily
developed and implemented new technologies, approaches
and methods to reduce air emissions. The Valley-based
nonprofit organization works to support and advance
real-world solutions to air quality problems.
“By promoting these achievements
and building awareness, Valley CAN will seek to inspire
and motivate others to engage and invest in similar
voluntary actions that result in solutions to further
improve the Valley’s air now,” said Bob
Maddux, Valley CAN President.
“The goal of the program is to
inspire and motivate others to proactively engage
and invest in voluntary actions that result in solutions
to further improve the Valley’s air,”
he said.
Many businesses in the Valley already
have taken steps to cut their emissions through such
programs as retrofitting equipment to lower emissions,
promoting employee programs such as carpooling, and
implementing other activities to help clean the air.
Businesses who participate in the recognition
program will receive special acknowledgement from
Valley CAN, including placement in periodic ads in
local newspapers and/or business journals, a static
decal to place in a window at their business or automobile
in support of promoting the “Business CAN. You
CAN. Valley CAN” theme, and a resolution from
the Valley CAN Board of Directors recognizing contributions
to improving the air in the San Joaquin Valley.
“By telling others of the current
accomplishments of Valley businesses, and demonstrating
what can be done today, Valley CAN hopes to set examples
for others to follow,” said Maddux.
Businesses interested in participating
in the program must fill out a registration form located
on the Valley CAN website, www.valley-can.org. For

(916) 325-2908 or Shelley McKenry (559) 438-2040.
