August 2009 TTRA Meeting: Green Power & Green Jobs

Join us on Thursday, August 13th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the NCSU University Club.

Presented by: Martha Gettys, Business Development Manager, NC Green Power

When you turn on the light switch, where does the power come from?  Martha’s presentation will cover where NC’s electrical power comes from today, what the environmental costs are of using that energy and what other solutions are available that can meet our needs while preserving our natural heritage. 

Martha will also discuss hiring trends in the Green Energy Industry as well as new offerings from colleges to prepare candidates for entry into this field.

There will be information on the various ways individuals and businesses can make a difference for a brighter future for the environment and economy in North Carolina, including monthly contributions through electric bills, corporate sponsorships, event offsets, green power gift cards and NC GreenPower for LEED points.
