outstanding contributions in the fields of clean air, climate
change, technology and related policies. Considered to be
California's premier air quality award, it is named for the late
Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit, known as the “father” of air pollution
science and control. The award recognizes those who have followed
in his footsteps to advance efforts toward clean air goals. The
