The David Gottfried Special Achievement Award will go to Kevin Hydes, President and CEO of Integral Group, and Board Member of USGBC-NCC. He has spent over 15 years focusing on green design and his sustainable vision has led to the LEED certification of dozens of projects. Over the past decade he has gained a reputation as an innovator, pioneer, and green business leader, creating transformative strategies as former President and CEO of Keen Engineering, former Vice President of Stantec, and in his current leadership at Integral Group. Kevin was a founder of the Northern California Chapter of USGBC, and is a former Chair of both the USGBC and the World Green Building Council. We have been fortunate to have his involvement in the Northern California Chapter since its inception, and look forward to honoring him with this well-deserved award.
