Event: Green Cities Summit - Huntsville May 11, 2009
Just taking the chance to again remind everyone about the Green Cities Huntsville Planning Summit – please see registration information below.
With the recent announcement about my Council for Green Sustainability (Green 13), I’m hoping our area is taking note of what a critical role Huntsville can play in the “Green Economy” movement.
Apart from the work the Green 13 is doing, I am personally asking for your participation in the inaugural Green Cities™ Huntsville Planning Summit. This will be an invitation only event seeking to engage our regions’ most innovative thinkers through a process to envision and identify the resources needed to address the challenges facing our community and region. Your input during the Planning Summit will determine the agenda for a Green Cities™ Alabama conference in the fall of 2009 which will focus on advancing the business and science of sustainability for our region.
This Summit will be held Monday, May 11 from 1pm to 6pm, at the U. S. Space & Rocket C enter, Educator Training Facility, One Tranquility Base, Huntsville, AL 35807 .
Mr. Mike Italiano, founder, President, and CEO for Market Transformation to Sustainability (MTS) and Capital Markets Partnership will address the Summit on strategies for financing the green economy. His long career includes founder of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and LEED. He is a Director of USGBC, USGBC CEO Board, and served as former Director of ASTM and Chairman of ASTM E50.
Mr. Stephen Cochran, an internationally recognized leader, speaker, writer, and advocate of sustainable enterprise, will facilitate the dialogue and planning portion of the Summit. Mr. Cochran is the founding chair of the Washington DC-based United States Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development, and a consultant in national and international sustainability imperatives.
The event will be supported by the EPA award winning event producers, Seven-Star, Inc from Asheville, NC, and their local ambassador 4SITE, Incorporated, a local land planning and design firm that partner with others to build more sustainable communities.
The City of Huntsville will be the host for both of these prestigious events which will be catalysts for accelerating the community and region towards a more sustainable and vibrant future.
I look forward to your participation with me in this historical event. If for some reason you are unable to attend please consider designating a representative to send on your behalf.
I’ve made a commitment that the City of Huntsville will do all it can to lead the nation in the Green Sustainable Industry movement–and I’d like for you to be a part of that.
Sincerely,
Tommy Battle
Mayor
