| Roadmap to the Green Economy |
| Workshops, Document & Public Forum Last summer, we started quietly working with the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIEDC) on a project called the Roadmap to the Green Economy. Having held a successful roundtable event, they immediately sought to build on that momentum with a series of workshops that would produce a 'roadmap' document to be released at a public forum event. Needless to say, we think this is a hugely important project and were deeply honored to have helped lead it. We hosted the workshops here at the studio, and we were thrilled to see both new and familiar faces. We worked with numerous authors and editors on the "final" text of V 1.0 - a working draft, and John Speck executed the layout. The document is available online with help from local start up Tizra who provide the pagination software. Finally, we helped design and facilitate the public forum where the document was officially released. In addition to a rousing keynote address by Gen. Wesley Clark, the forum included a working session where participants commented on the roadmap and suggested next steps. |
