2nd Annual Green Schools Conference

Participate in a collective voice, so the green schools message is heard coast to coast. Join us February 27 to 29, 2012 in Denver at the only national gathering of K-12 leaders and educators coming together to make their schools and districts green and healthy centers of academic excellence. This conference will be a "take notice" event as the centerpiece of a national movement sending a strong, clear, message that green is the future of our schools. With apologies to Kermit, it's EASY being green, if you have the strategies and resources!

(1) IDENTIFY ways to save money by "Going Green"

(2) DISCOVER new and diverse funding sources for your green schools projects

(3) SHOP the Green Marketplace for products & services at special discounted rates

(4) NETWORK with like-minded peers from across the country

(5) FIND schools and organizations to partner with on projects and grants.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is confirmed as a keynote speaker on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Don't miss this landmark appearance by a U.S. Secretary of Education and the opportunity to thank him for his leadership in establishing the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools Award Program. The conference will be the most comprehensive resource for districts and schools who want to be eligible for the Green Ribbon Schools Award.

We hope to see you there!
