Cleantech: Harvard Club to Host CTO, EBC and CalCEF at Adobe, San Jose September 1, 2009

The third installment of the Harvard Club of San Francisco's 2009 Cleantech Thought Leader Series will take place at Adobe System's LEED Platinum certified San Jose headquarters on Tuesday September 1. Jonathan Livingston of Livingston Energy Innovations will provide a brief keynote address, immediately followed by a panel discussion with three leaders of prominent San Francisco Bay Area cleantech institutions. The panelists are Dan Adler, President, California Clean Energy Fund; Rex Northen, Executive Director, Clean Tech Open; and Melinda Richter, Executive Director, Environmental Business Cluster.

Panelists will discuss the current environment for cleantech in the greater Bay Area in light of recent energy and climate legislation and the disbursement of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (stimulus) cleantech funding allocation. The panel will also cover what lies ahead for their organizations, for California, and for global cleantech over the next few years. A Q&A session will conclude the discussion.

"The evening will focus on the challenges and accomplishments of our three panelists' organizations," said Augie Rakow, board member of The Harvard Club and attorney at Alston & Bird. "They will highlight their organizations' efforts to promote clean, efficient and profitable resource solutions. We hope attendees will be inspired by these real-life examples and take away some best practices."
