Dear CNRG,
AESP-NW is hosting a half day seminar in conjunction with our holiday
party
this year on December 10th at the Ecotrust entitles, *Trends &
Policies*. We
are exploring some recent trends in energy efficiency programs in the
region as well as key policy issues the region is considering. We're
emailing asking for your assistance.
To begin, we'd love it if BPS could post our event your website's
calender.
If you could also send out a mass-mailing, that would be excellent, but
we're not demanding it. Below and attached you will find all the
information needed. If you need more information, though, please message
me
as soon as you can.
