We are excited to invite you to the upcoming annual enHance Environmental Stewardship Workshop and Awards Luncheon to be held on Monday August 11, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at The Sheraton Flowood – The Refuge Hotel & Conference Center at 2200 Refuge Blvd in Flowood, MS. This annual event is co-sponsored by MDEQ with the assistance of our technical contractor EPL Advisors LLC. The workshop is conducted each year to provide information concerning the principles of environmental stewardship, waste reduction practices, pollution prevention case studies, regulatory updates and recognition for the work of the companies and organizations that are members of enHance. For those that are able, we encourage you to attend this year’s enHance Workshop and Awards Luncheon and celebrate our collective commitment to natural resource conservation and environmental enrichment. You can register to attend the annual workshop at the following link: https://efficientpl.com/events/.
In addition to recognizing the enHance Class for 2025 at the luncheon, the day’s program will highlight innovative measures that local companies and organizations have implemented to achieve sustainability objectives. The agenda for the Workshop will be released soon.
For those enHance members that are new or returning members of the Class of 2025, we do request that you have representatives at the workshop and awards luncheon if possible. Members of the Class of 2025 should have or will receive a separate notification letter regarding this invitation. We are asking that you reply and let us know if your facility will be represented at the meeting to receive this well-deserved recognition and who from your facility will be attending.

Please send the names of those to receive complimentary registration to Will Kalahar at will.kalahar@efficientpl.com.
