We have big plans for our celebration! Come join us and be inspired by keynote speaker Paul Hawken, author of many best selling books including Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw it Coming, Ecology of Commerce, Natural Capitalism, and Growing A Business. You will not want to miss this evening of fun and as we launch the theme: Working together in this Blessed Unrest: Creating the next steps to a sustainable society.
During the evening we will commemorate our 30th anniversary and inaugurate our 4th decade of public service. Join with us as we take a retrospective look at a number of milestones in our history, celebrate our accomplishments, and lay out our vision for the future. There will be fun for all at this festive event!
The aim of our 30th Anniversary Gala and Symposium is both to celebrate 30 years of accomplishments and to create progressive dialogue around the challenges we face as a society; and, from this platform, to launch the next 30 years -- during which society must address these formidable problems. To achieve our aim, we will join in partnership with a diversity of organizations to share the work of creating synergistic solutions to severe energy, climate, security, natural resource, economic and social problems, and to work for a better and more sustainable world.
The gala celebration will also recognize and highlight the winners of our First Annual Excellence in Renewable Energy Awards Program. We hope you will join us for this amazing evening.

"If you have lost a sense of direction in your life, if despair dogs your every step, pick up a pencil and pick up this book in (Hawken's) hands, the civil society movement reveals itself as the action that has replaced the talk." -Barry Lopez
