(L-R) Top Row  ASP's Don Baird, Barbara Wiseman- President of The Earth Organization, Mark Long -ASP Nevada Representative, (C) Gayl Rogers- Henderson Chamber of Commerce, Jeff Bargerhuff  - SVP Marketing Director Nevada State Bank and Sandi Milton of the Rose-Glenn Group.

(L-R) CEO Kirk Clausen, Wells Fargo Bank; Pat Shamly, CEO of Nevada Power Company and (R) Bill Martin CEO of Nevada State Bank.

For the first time in the country, three CEO's have come together in the production of both television and radio commercials to help protect our environment and support Nevada's K-12 public schools through the America's Schools Recycling Program.

The Henderson Chamber of Commerce played a major roll in helping to create a joint co-venture partnership with Wells Fargo Bank, Nevada State Bank and the Nevada Power Company. All these retail branch locations are now "Official" Recycling Drop-Off Sites for the general public to support Nevada's schools through the recycling of both inkjet/toner printer cartridges and used cell-phones.

Nevada State Bank and Wells Fargo Bank may be corporate competitors, but they both have strong beliefs about the environment and funding of Nevada's K-12 schools.

This was clearly illustrated and put into action when both CEO's of Wells Fargo Bank and Nevada State Bank joined with Pat Shamly the CEO of the Nevada Power Company in the production of both television and radio Public Service Announcements that will start airing later this month across the state of Nevada.
