LIFE Achievement Awards

 

While LIFE serves as a forum to discuss issues and exchange information relevant to low-income energy consumers, the individuals at the state, county, and local levels perform an instrumental role in this effort by bringing this information to the communities and individuals in need. As part of the LIFE Statewide Conferences, the LIFE Steering Committee honors those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in addressing the issue of energy affordability for low-income New Yorkers. These unsung heroes play an essential role through education and outreach efforts aimed at helping low-income consumers address their energy challenges.
