Member Highlight

Founded in 1970, the Citizens' Environmental Coalition is an alliance of diverse nonprofit, governmental, and educational organizations whose activities impact our environment and quality of life in the Houston-Galveston area. Our 107 member organizations cover a broad spectrum, including professional associations, conservation groups, and activists.

Communication remains our mission. We work to foster dialogue and collaboration regarding environmental issues, and serve as an information clearinghouse for our member groups and the community at large through the following programs:

Environmental Resource Guide. This annual publication provides a hard-copy directory of our member organizations and other important contact information. It is widely distributed to our school districts and to the community at large, and is posted in full pdf on our website.

Environmental News Update. This free weekly newsletter is e-mailed to more than 6,000 subscribers. It covers member dates and events, environmental news from our 13-county region, green jobs, and green grants.

Information & Referral. CEC serves as a call and email service center to help direct environmental inquiries to the appropriate organizations and match community needs to member agencies.

Synergy Awards. Since 1997, the Citizens’ Environmental Coalition has hosted the annual Synergy Awards event to recognize local individuals and organizations for their notable environmental projects and achievements. The winners are chosen from nominations made by the environmental community at large.
