Green jobs now planning meeting

The first meeting to organize an event for the September 27 Green Jobs Now Day will take place on Wednesday August 27 at 3:30 PM in the Hall of Fame Room at New England Tech 2500 Post Road in Warwick.

We realize that not everyone can make this meeting, and I am sure there will be additional meetings and work to do and ways to participate even if you can not attend any of the planning meetings.

Tentative agenda

-Introductions
-5 minutes to explain why we have convenened.
-Discussion on what kind of event to do
-Who, what, when, where, how. Dividing up the work.
-Next meeting

We only have a month, and all of us have other obligations, so it would be good to keep meetings to a minimum and use the time we meet effectively. I assume each of us has a slightly different take on the Green Jobs agenda, mine tends to be very expansive, but for the purposes
of organizing a Sept 27 event I do not think we need to spend much time on discussing the issue of Green Jobs. My hope is that we shall design a way to make sure that the approach each of us takes is honored and allowed ways to communicate, in other words complement each other rather than compete for air time. I am going to try to move us through the agenda relatively expeditiously. If you have resources to offer, money, staff time, locations for the event, media, please be ready to make the offer.
