2008 Testimonial
"AREDAY 2008 in Aspen was
an event like no other. If a Clean Energy/Green
Economy conference had 3-4 keynotes from among
the featured presenters at AREDAY, it would
have stood out on the national stage. The
fact that AREDAY had 40+ A-List speakers
made this remarkable forum a productive and
meaningful highlight of my 7 years in 'the
Green Movement' towards America's sustainable
future. Numerous collaborations are now underway
as a result of the participation of my team
in AREDAY."
