Eden Prairie, MN, August 08, 2013 --(PR.com)-- ecoEnvelopes (www.ecoEnvelopes.com), the world’s leader in innovative, eco-friendly mailing solutions is proud to announce that Gale Ward, Company President and General Manager, has received a Silver Award as Maverick of the Year, for Business Products Industries in the 2013 American Business Awards.

The Maverick of the Year award recognizes an individual who’s affected the most positive change in his/her industry in 2012. According to Gale Ward, President and General Manager of ecoEnvelopes, “Being a maverick is like living every day as a two-year-old. Instead of ' why,' 'what' and 'how' questions we ask 'why not?' 'what if?' and 'how can we?' These questions enable us to invent eco-friendly mailing solutions including 2-Way postage, packages and envelopes, reducing costs for mailers and benefiting the environment.”

“Eco-smart innovation that delivers tangible benefits to its stakeholders, developing a method to quantify and communicate benefits and, most importantly, partnering – putting others first – are the keys to making a positive impact in our industry,” added Ward.

The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. More than 3,200 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. More than 320 executives nationwide participated in the judging process for this year’s awards.
