You represent the talent that exists in Portland to make the world a better place, and there has been no time when the world needed you more than now. The clean energy revolution poses a phenomenal opportunity for innovation and economic growth for your companies. You will be at the forefront of designing our new energy economy, while maintaining Portland's reputation for focusing on livability. While it is easy to get completely absorbed in the US -- where a majority of the work has to be done to change our attitude toward energy -- we cannot let this wave of innovation pass by the world's poor.

Please come to Portland's premier networking event for young professionals in the clean energy industry. Proceeds from the event will go towards Green Empowerment's renewable energy projects in Nicaragua.
Why?
The clean energy revolution poses phenomenal opportunities for innovation and economic growth. Many Portland companies and organizations will be at the forefront of designing our new energy economy. It is imperative that this technology also benefits the developing world.
A delegation from Portland and the Bay Area recently returned from 2 weeks in Nicaragua with Green empowerment exploring the role renewable energy can play in empowering rural communities. Come hear their stories at the event, and come learn how you too can get plugged-in to the international sustainability movement.
