The Community College of Beaver County is very pleased to welcome Dr. Robin Roy, Vice President, Projects & Policy of Serious Materials, as the keynote speaker for the second annual “The Road to Sustainability II: Implementing Sustainable Strategies,” conference on Thursday, September 23, 2010 from 8:30am-3:00pm, at the CCBC Athletics & Events Center, 1 Campus Drive, Monaca, PA.
“Dr. Roy is a very dynamic speaker and is an outspoken proponent for going green,” says, Dr. Matt Mehalik, of Sustainable Pittsburgh, LLC. For over two decades, Dr. Roy has been motivated by society’s aspirations for secure, economic, and environmentally sound energy. He delights in working with the practicalities of effective public policy, the capabilities of new and emerging business, and the opportunity created by technological and institutional innovation. Prior to joining Serious Materials, he co-founded Next Energy, a Sydney-based adviser to government, industry and environmental organizations on energy policy and strategy, often delivering on that advice with operational and project management services.
Formerly Project Director & Fellow at the United States Congress Office of Technology Assessment, Dr. Roy advised the Congress on competition in the electricity market, energy efficiency initiatives in the federal government and housing sectors, vulnerability of electricity systems to terrorism and natural disaster, and nuclear industry issues.
“The Road to Sustainability II” conference is aimed at providing information to businesses and organizations on what businesses will actually need to do to implement the strategies to “go green” as well as what it will take to get the current workforce trained to do so. The Conference presenters will give first-hand information about “how to” implement a plan, what products to use and how to capture the return on the investment of going green. Topics of the day include new construction, renovation, energy audits, funding resources and so much more.
