Past Conference Highlights

Now in its fifth year, the Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference will hold four regional conferences throughout the country in 2012. These Regional Conferences — in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Detroit — provide a unique opportunity to meet like-minded people and build coalitions that will move us forward to a cleaner, greener and more prosperous economy.
