Shelley Sayward, senior vice president and general counsel at Casella Waste Systems, was recently named the National Waste and Recycling Association Services Member of the Year as part of its 2022 Industry Leadership Awards. Sayward was honored for playing an integral role in helping to shape much of the policy discussion on key industry issues throughout the Northeast.
“Our member companies and their employees are the strength of NWRA,” said association President and CEO Darrell Smith. “Without these individuals’ leadership and contributions, NWRA would not be the leading association in the waste industry. I congratulate them on their achievements.”
As a senior leader at Casella, Sayward has provided significant insight and influence in advancing positive recycling and waste disposal infrastructure policy outcomes in Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
"We’re proud of the work that Shelley has done and continues to do on behalf of our organization and the industry as a whole,” said Casella Chairman and CEO John W. Casella. “She is a highly respected, hardworking and trusted member of our senior leadership team, and her ability to help bring the Northeastern Region of the NWRA together in a more strategic manner will benefit the entire industry for years to come.”
