Prava Construction Services
CEO and President, Glenn Torrez, joined the board of directors of nonprofit
Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE). In
tracking with its fast growth and zealous strategic plan SSE is expanding its
board.
“Glenn brings much experience and knowledge to our group,”
said Prelozni. “His presence is a terrific connection in a key segment of our
business outreach - construction - and another link to driving our goal of
sustainability.”
Additionally, Mr. Torrez adds strong board
experience. He presently serves on the
board of both the North County Chamber of Commerce and the Boys & Girls
Club of North County.
Regarding his choice to work with SSE Mr. Torrez commented,
“I wanted to get involved with an organization where I could use my expertise
as an entrepreneur and commercial builder that helps our environment. He added, “I feel we, PRAVA, have a lot to
offer the organization in the way of contacts and resources that will help them
grow.”
Sustainable Surplus has hefty targets to meet this year
partly as a result of its achievements of 2012.
Last year SSE tripled its outreach by benefitting over 120 nonprofit and
academic organizations in San Diego county with re-purposed resources.
In addition, SSE diverted over 100,000 pounds of waste from
the landfill. “Our goal is to at least
double that amount in 2013,” said Prelozni.
With the recent State and County directives on the recycling of solid
waste, diversion will be a strong impetus for companies to repurpose their
surplus assets.
