Everett J. Bowman Receives Environmental Award

Everett J. Bowman has received the 2014 Catalyst Award from The North Carolina League of Conservation Voters. The award recognizes leaders who have taken exceptional action to create change and bring attention to important environmental issues.

“We recognize Everett for his ongoing commitment to NCLCV, national LCV, and more importantly, the state of North Carolina’s environment. He cares deeply about the environment and paddles our North Carolina waterways,” said Carrie Clark, executive director of NCLCV. “Everett believes we need to take responsibility locally and globally to protect our world for future generations.”

Bowman has served on the NCLCV board of directors since 2011. He practices antitrust and commercial litigation law at Robinson Bradshaw and was recently named Best Lawyers® 2015 Charlotte Litigation – Antitrust Lawyer of the Year.

“I strongly believe environmental protection and conservation are the most important issues our country and world face. We owe it to future generations, and other species whose fate is in our hands, to elect legislators – whatever their political party or affiliation – who will advance these goals,” said Bowman.

Past Catalyst Award recipients include Gov. James B. Hunt, Attorney General Roy Cooper, Congressman G.K. Butterfield and journalist Sue Sturgis from the Institute for Southern Studies.

Bowman received his law degree cum laude from Harvard Law School. He received his Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude from Harvard College where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.
