NAFA Clean Air Award Program

Recognizing Leadership and Excellence in Air Filtration

The NAFA Clean Air Award is a distinguished commendation in the air filtration industry and an opportunity for our members to recognize champions of clean air in our community.

NAFA will assist award recipients in preparing press releases for local newspapers and will send a national press release to industry trade journals.
