One of the highlights of the Alliance Conference, our annual community gathering, is recognizing the incredible individuals who have made outstanding contributions to our shared work. These leaders are nominated by their peers for their dedication, innovation, and impact in advancing the Responsible Seafood movement.
We are thrilled to honor this year’s Responsible Seafood Award recipients, celebrated earlier this month at our gathering in Cancun. Their work serves as an inspiration to all of us, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements together.
The Outstanding Contribution Award, awarded this year to Springboard Partners’ Danielle Lewis, honors individuals who significantly contributed to Alliance collective action. Danielle earned praise for her willingness to share her expertise through workshops, seminars, and conference sessions.
The Spirit Award, awarded to Peter Adame of Lusamerica Foods, acknowledges an individual who embodies the Alliance’s collaborative spirit, shares openly and often, and maintains a strong commitment to service. Peter’s nomination for this award highlighted his incredible work in showcasing the power of collaboration between industry and NGOs.
We were also excited to honor Indrani Luchman of Sustainable Fisheries Partnership as Board Member of the Year. Indrani’s offered many years of service to the Alliance, providing guidance, support, and strategic insight. She leaves some very large shoes to fill as she moves on from her place on the Board.
