Climate Initiatives Virtual Roundtable
October 5, 2021 @ 9:00 am EDT
Are you a leader trying to navigate the changing landscape of climate initiatives at the local, state or federal level? How are you involving key stakeholders in your community to address public perception and demand for a cleaner and socio-economically responsible utility?
Join us on Tuesday, October 5th for NEPPA’s inaugural Climate Initiatives Virtual Roundtable to celebrate Public Power and recognize our members’ climate initiatives across the northeast! The Roundtable will be held virtually from 9:00 am – 10:30 am via Zoom.
To kick off the Roundtable, a panel of utility representatives and joint action agencies will discuss how they or their members are approaching climate initiatives locally. Following the panel, a robust Roundtable will be held and moderated virtually via breakout rooms in Zoom.
