Events

"The Climate Change seminar was fantastic. If fact, I think it was the best seminar I have attended in my 28 years in the air business. It seems like all of the stars aligned for this event. The quality of the speakers was unbelievable. I learned a great deal, even though I have done a great deal of independent study on Climate Change for some expert witness work , and I have attended a couple of Climate Change conferences before. I doubt I will ever see another conference like that again." Raymond Allen, P.E. Sage Environmental Baton Rouge, LA

The Climate Policy Puzzle: Putting the Pieces Together Real progress on climate change issues will require new, manageable policy. On April 2nd and 3rd, A&WMA held its conference on climate change policy in Arlington, VA. Featuring a keynote presentation by Senator Joseph Lieberman, the conference was designed as a platform for straight talk on U.S. climate change policy developments.
