On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 5:46 PM, Alan Schlaifer <anschlaifer@aol. Cost and Registration - www.whartondc.com/st Schedule: Thursday November 12, 2009 SUMMARY This year’s conference examines the essential, interdependent elements of launching a sustainable Green Economy. With the American economy and companies of all sizes facing significant domestic and international challenges, executives and entrepreneurs proposing significant green investments and initiatives need to set forth an even more compelling business case to justify such investments. Yet with the dramatic changes in Washington within the past year, including tens billions of dollars in potential funding for approved projects, other non-equity investment options exist (e.g., grants, loans, government lab assistance). Two keynote speakers for the Green Business Summit, along with four expert panels, will focus on these major components that affect the business case for Green Investments Special Introductory Speaker Morning Keynote Mid-Day Keynote: TBA Speakers During the Day Don Dahn, Senior Vice President, East West Bank Kevin Furnary, Chief Executive Officer, LEEP Holdings Pandor Hadjy, Acting Deputy Administrator, Business Program, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Rural Development Leslie Kass, Director, Business Policy and Programs, Nuclear Energy Institute Kyle W.

Staging information: RSVP by email or call (202) 495-1328 to tell us you can make it! WeatherizeDC, the local non-profit effort to weatherize 200 homes by March, is getting out into the community to spread the word about how energy efficiency can reduce our carbon emission, save homeowners money, and create good green jobs to revitalize our local economy. We will have our second weekly campus-community joint Canvass for Weatherization tomorrow!

TRICK-OR-TREAT With D.C. Sierra Club and WeatherizeDC! Date/time: Saturday, October 31, 1:00 pm Costumes encouraged The Washington DC chapter of the Sierra Club will be partnering with WeatherizeDC to assist them in their efforts to help Washington DC become one of the most energy efficient cities in the nation! WeatherizeDC is the project of a local non-profit effort to weatherize 200 homes in Northwest DC by March. They are organizing communities to weatherize homes block by block, due to the fact that WeatherizeDC can receive community discounts from local contractors if the weatherization of homes is done in large groups. This is your chance to take direct action that will help reduce carbon emissions and create good green jobs here in DC. WeatherizeDC, along with the DC Chapter of the Sierra Club, will be Trick or Treating for Weatherization this Saturday around Georgetown University. We will be knocking on doors and signing up homeowners to have their homes weatherized, reduce their carbon footprint, and save on their energy bills. Check out the video of a recent WeatherizeDC canvass! http://www.youtube.c Just a couple hours of your time can lead to 2 homes being weatherized, the equivalent of taking 6 cars off the road. It's a small amount of time that can have a huge impact! Meet at 1:00 p.m. to pick up materials and get a quick training on what to say and how to canvass. The generic campus address for Georgetown University is 37th Street NW and O Street NW, and several buses serve that portion of Georgetown. The DC Sierra Club and WeatherizeDc group will be meeting at the http://explore.georg Costumes encouraged! Please dress appropriately for an afternoon trip around the neighborhood. Weatherization or green-job-themed costumes are highly encouraged. :) Please RSVP to amanda.brinton@sierr More information at: http://www.weatheriz |
