As a Founding Vice President and Board Member of the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories, Kath Williams was recognized for helping to launch I2SL and providing six years of dedicated service.
The I2SL community and the board of directors and officers were deeply appreciative of her commitment to energy-efficient and sustainable laboratories. I2SL, now with chapters world-wide, was built upon principles and strategies developed during the early years of EPA/DOE's Labs21 initiative and the USGBC's LEED for Laboratories. Founding chair, Phil Wirdzek, led EPA's initiative, Beth Shearer served as director of FEMP and Founding secretary/treasurer of I2SL, and Kath Williams led LEED for Laboratories and USGBC representative to Labs21 for nine years.
