Thirty Four leaders were recognized for their efforts to strengthen the PACE marketplace and create resilient, sustainable buildings across the United States at the organization's virtual Tiny Summit

LOS ANGELES, Aug.5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PACENation, the national membership association for PACE financing, announced the recipients of the 2022 PACESetter Awards and honored two PACE Champions and the winner of the Chair's Award for their distinguished leadership in the PACE marketplace. PACESetters were honored in several categories, including promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the PACE marketplace, program design & implementation, advocacy and policy innovation, innovative financial institutions, and innovative deals of the year.

"On behalf of the PACE community, it is an honor to congratulate these extraordinary leaders, whose vision and perseverance have helped thousands of American property owners to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen their homes and businesses against natural disasters," said Mary Luévano, Acting Executive Director of PACENation. "To date, PACE financing has created 170,000 local jobs, injected $21 billion into local economies, and reduced carbon emissions by over 13.9 million metric tons."

"We are humbled by the recognition from PACENation and our peers in the PACE industry and grateful to receive the 2022 PACE Champion Award at the PACENation Summit this week," commented Priscilla Sims Brown, CEO of Amalgamated Bank.

"I'm delighted to receive this recognition from PACENation," commented PACE Champion Award winner Andy Holzhauser, a partner with Donovan Energy. "We spend a lot of time in the trenches, but it is important to step back to measure and celebrate our progress. The PACE industry potential to address a critical challenge is enormous and I'm excited to work with PACENation and my industry colleagues to help realize that potential."
