Quarter 1: Driving Toward a Sustainable Future: Exploring Green Innovations and Opportunities
Join us for an engaging and forward-thinking forum, Driving Toward a Sustainable Future: Exploring Green Innovations and Opportunities, where we delve into the transformative potential of green technologies and sustainable practices. This forum will explore innovative solutions and emerging opportunities for businesses and communities striving to create a more sustainable future.

The forum will feature an expert panel, including a Senior Program Manager for the Transportation and Fuels Program at the Great Plains Institute (GPI), a Minnesota GreenCorps Member specializing in Green Transportation from GPI, and the Director of Lending and Energy Conservation at African Economic Development Solutions (AEDS). These panelists will share their insights, experiences, and strategies for advancing sustainability in transportation, energy, and community development.
This is an excellent opportunity for participants to connect, learn, and gain actionable insights into driving sustainable practices within their industries and communities.
