Symposium to feature experts and
leaders on sustainability and clean energy in the Federal
Government
OCTOBER 4, 2011 – WASHINGTON, DC –
The White House Council on Environmental Quality today
released the full agenda for the 2011 GreenGov Symposium, to
be held October 31 – November 2, at the Washington Hilton in
Washington, D.C. President Obama signed Executive Order
13514 on Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and
Economic Performance in October 2009, directing Federal
agencies to meet aggressive energy, water, and waste
reduction targets, reduce their greenhouse gas pollution,
and leverage Federal purchasing power to curb waste, save
taxpayer dollars, and support the growth of a 21st century
clean energy economy. Co-hosted by the Association of
Climate Change Officers and now in its second year, GreenGov
will bring together leaders from government, the private
sector, non-profits and academia to identify opportunities
to create jobs, grow clean energy industries, and curb
pollution by greening the Federal Government.
Divided into nine tracks, the symposium will
cover a diverse range of Federal sustainability initiatives
including clean energy, climate risk and resilience,
education and engagement, fleet management, green
facilities, greening the supply chain, IT and electronics,
sustainable planning, and water and materials management.
Presenters include Dr. Dorothy Robyn, Deputy Under Secretary
of Defense for Installations and Environment at the
Department of Defense; Michael Littlejohn, Vice President
for Smarter Cities at IBM; Tim Unruh, Manager of the Federal
Energy Management Program at the Department of Energy; and
Robert Peck, Commissioner of Public Buildings at the U.S.
General Services Administration. Each track will have nine
panel sessions to provide informative overviews, case
studies, and dynamic discussion among participants. With
over 160 confirmed speakers, attendance is expected to be
over 1000.
