Dear Friends,

 

After a long, cold winter, spring is finally here. In WGBA's world spring always bring with it an announcement of the annual SE2 conference. Our Board has spent a good amount of time planning the theme and title of this year's event. I think you will agree that as always, it resonates well with the direction of sustainability today and will be a great backdrop against which to bring you leading edge speakers, education, and networking opportunities. The title of this year's conference is Focus on Sustainable Communities. Generously hosted again by UW Milwaukee, this year's event will be held on Friday, October 4th. Having it at the same place as last year allows us to build on what we learned. Last year was great, this year will be even better.

 

Look for more education in shorter sessions. The same, fun Ignite presentation for exhibitors. A new and improved SE2 Awards competition: The 10th Annual SE2 Awards competition has been retrofitted to include existing buildings over five years old. This is in response to many requests by members last year. We are also encouraging the use of Portfolio Manager to submit energy data for entries. Here is the really exciting part: Keynote speakers and education tracks HAVE NOT been chosen yet! Click HERE if you want to be on the SE2 planning committee to help select these mainframe parts of the conference. We have 19 volunteers already, and the more the merrier! Join now because the schedule for the first meeting will be set soon.

 

Thanks everyone,
