Federal Green Jobs Legislative Conference

Three Events – One Day!

March 2, 2010

The Federal Green Jobs Legislative Conference will bring a panel of Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Labor (DOL) officials and other key national and state green job policy makers to Hampton Roads to have them brief the region’s business, labor, government and community leaders and citizens on recent and pending federal legislation directly impacting green economic growth, green workforce training and green job creation.

Two 2-hour invitation-only events:

Each event has limited seating (Breakfast 200, Lunch 105).  DOE and DOL officials will brief Hampton Roads region business, labor, community, and governmental leaders on recent legislation, pending legislation, and envisioned opportunities in the areas of green workforce training, green job creation, energy efficiency and clean energy.  These events will provide the region’s leadership an opportunity to hear directly from federal officials through:
