Shelley Sayward, senior vice president and general counsel for Casella Waste Systems, Inc., a regional solid waste, recycling and resource management services company, was recently named the National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA) 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. As a senior leader at Casella, her first term as the vice chair of NWRA’s Government Affairs Committee has provided significant insight and influence in advancing positive recycling and waste disposal infrastructure policy outcomes in Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. Her positive contributions have been felt throughout the association, and beyond, as she continues to be a unifying voice across several issues, while advancing critical environmental health and safety infrastructure.
Her commitment to understanding all facets of the company to be a better leader was on full display when she graduated from Casella’s innovative CDL school in 2021, becoming one of the over 90 graduates of the program since it was established in November 2020.
