Through his leadership, he has implemented environmental policies that reduced the tribe’s carbon footprint and led to an overall reduction in energy use. “Gus recognizes that clean air, water and land must be preserved now to ensure future generations enjoy the same benefits of the Potawatomi land. He is most deserving of the Champion of Change award, and I am proud to join with the White House in honoring my friend Gus.” Other honorees include Wayne Balta, Saint Clair, PA; David Bolt, Knoxville, TN; Jim Clark, Dayton, OH; Frank Hugelmeyer, Boulder, CO; Chad and Jodi Ray, Louisburg, NC; and Karen Trilevsky, Moss Beach, CA The Champions of Change program was created as a part of President Obama’s “Winning the Future” initiative.
