March 12, 2009 • Forest Hills Fine Arts Center • Grand Rapids

Send a team to the first annual Energy Solutions Symposium designed for school leaders to apply energy saving strategies, technology, and resources to your district. Material will cover everything from facility improvement to student curriculum with topics such as:

• Renewable energy
• High performance buildings
• Collaborative energy management
• Understanding the supply side of energy
• Michigan green jobs
• Energy policy regulation
• Energy and transportation
• Performance contracting
• Funding renewable energy
• Teaching kids about energy

This all-day workshop will showcase the most current thinking on school energy efficiency and provide practical solutions for saving resources and costs in your district whether you are operating existing equipment or looking at the next generation of buildings, transportation, and classrooms. Information from this event will pay back participant fees in cost savings to your district and will continue to pay dividends well into the future.

The afternoon general session will feature Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell, a founding member of the Mayors’ Alliance for Green Schools. Mayor Heartwell will discuss the progress toward sustainability in Grand Rapids schools, and what school districts can do to impact their own communities.
