Join Us in Minnesota for our Sustainability Conference!

Spring has come to Minnesota. The snow is finally gone, the leaves are budding out, the birds are at the feeders, my boat is in the water, and life is good. Despite the recession, businesses and communities across Rural America are quietly doing incredible things. You're in for a real treat when you come to Minnesota for NREDA's Professional Development Conference, with a strong focus on sustainability. Niki Knox and Tom Lambrecht have assembled a blue-ribbon program of nationally known speakers to talk about sustainability in building design and development, Smart Grid electric technology, and you can tour first-hand Minnesota's first LEED Platinum commercial office building - a shining example that incorporates energy efficiency, renewable energy and innovative resource planning into a real showcase. Trust me, the snow is gone, and it's OK to head North, and you know I'll be there. Hope to see you June 24-25 at Great River Energy's offices in Maple Grove, MN. You can register online below.
