Bio
Cate Steane
This young man is going places. He has a complete mastery of materials management and is quickly expanding the breadth of his environmental expertise. He is the best staff leader I have ever seen, creating a positive departmental culture that has resulted in high retention in an organization with a high level of turnover. The only employees I can recall leaving his department did so for promotional opportunities within the organization. Eli gets the concept that organizations succeed or fail as a whole better than any young leader I have ever seen. His generosity and creativity in supporting other departments when they are struggling is exceptional. Eli never accepts current practices as the way things have to be. He is a master of reframing, constantly coming up with dramatically new approaches that enable his department to achieve its goals more efficiently and effectively. Eli’s patience with an organization not designed to support his entrepreneurial mindset is remarkable. He has enormous drive combined with a sharp understanding of how to successfully navigate a change-resistant bureaucracy. I look forward to watching how he will change the world.

Eli supervised me when I worked for the Compost Display Area of the Associated Students Recycling program at California State University, Chico. He has the qualities of a great supervisor and is generous with his knowledge about waste reduction and sustainability. He also recently provided valuable recommendations to myself and my employer regarding waste auditing, maximizing recycling efficiency and effective ways to increase employee participation in these practices. I highly recommend his consulting services and his waste auditing expertise.
