According to the award

The Director's Award celebrates an individual's exemplary efforts to administer U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) in their state. Specifically, the ED-GRS Director's Award recognizes a state education agency official who does the most to advance green schools by: running a robust competition process; connecting more schools to resources in all three ED-GRS Pillars; amplifying the stories of honorees; helping schools learn from one another; partnering with a variety of entities to bring more resources and expertise into schools; and exhibiting a dedication to exceptional school facilities, environmental education through activities outside of the administration of ED-GRS.

Congratulation John!!
