The Ruth Peterson Award, established in memory of a dedicated SSMC leader and given to an invaluable SSMC volunteer, will be presented to John Crowell.
John had a long and successful career working for innovative high technology companies, including Sun Microsystems and a startup, OnLive, where he gained an extensive background in finance, people and project management, relationship development and delivering successful project results.
He’s had an even more impressive 2nd career volunteering as a Healthy Cities Tutor in the Redwood City Elementary School District, a meal preparer for Meals on Wheels and a regular participant at the Fair Oaks Community Center Family Harvest events.
SSMC became a big focus of his efforts, where he volunteered for four years and served as a board member for over three years. He has had an enduring impact on the organization through his work in shaping the Sustainability Dashboard, writing and editing several Indicators Reports, co-chairing the Development Committee, helping to set strategic and diversity policies and much more. He is a resident of Redwood City.
Join SSMC in celebrating John and our other 2025 Sustainability Award winners at the 26th Annual Sustainability Awards and Auction on April 3. Learn more here.
