Saturday, March 13th Meeting
Electric Vehicle Project and The Awarenest
1:00 – 4:00 pm at the Wayne Public Library*
Two Presentations:
Paul Heitmann will talk about the Electric Vehicle (EV) Project, its goals, and the general movement toward EVs and what is needed. Paul recently joined Phoenix-based eTec, which received a grant for $100 million to undertake the largest deployment of electric vehicles and charging stations in U.S. history. Previously, Paul worked for Comverge (NJ), a demand response and energy efficiency company, providing smart grid solutions to utilities and their commercial, industrial and residential customers.
Regan Caton was inspired to create The Awarenest when she had trouble finding sustainable and green living resources in her community. The Awarenest is an online portal connecting and delivering sustainable resources to local communities (<http://awarenest.stage.cc/>http://awarenest.stage.cc). Founder-Regan Caton has spent the last 25 years in accessory design and is also the co-owner of Rumblefish Collection which offers eco-friendly jewelry that is cause-oriented. Regan is also the “green” product advisor for EcoMattersTV, which will be launching online June 2010.

The Sustainable Leadership Forum (SLF) brings people together, face to face, to strengthen members’ capabilities in thinking, acting and leading others to bring about a sustainable future on this planet. The SLF is a peer network of people from all walks of life who are committed to forwarding humanity’s evolution toward environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Leaders from public, private and not-for-profit organizations are invited to present their projects to SLF audiences and receive participation, feedback and coaching in developing creative solutions and leading high-impact, enduring change initiatives. Members and SLF website followers are encouraged to start or join projects. Currently the SLF meets monthly in northern NJ, and plans to form a network of local chapters.

(The meeting is desvribed briefly here; […]
