For 20 years, Joel Makower (www.makower.com) has been a well-respected voice on business, the environment, and the bottom line. He is executive editor of the acclaimed website GreenBiz.com and its sister sites, conferences, and research services, all produced by Greener World Media, of which he is co-founder and chairman. He also serves as a senior strategist for GreenOrder, a sustainability management consultancy, and co-founder of Clean Edge, a leading research and publishing firm helping companies, investors, and governments understand and profit from clean technologies. Joel is author of more than a dozen books; his newest, "Strategies for the Green Economy," has been called a "clear and compelling vision of what's possible when companies harness environmental thinking" by Stonyfield Farm founder Gary Hirshberg; and "hopeful vision of companies transforming challenges into opportunities, re-imagining not just their products and processes, but themselves," by noted green architect William McDonough. Joel also writes Two Steps Forward (www.readjoel.com), a popular blog on green business, clean technology, and green marketing. The Associated Press has called him "The guru of green business practices." Schedule: 6:00-6:30 Network Reception 6:30-6:40 Chapter Announcements 6:40-8:00 Program: An Evening with Joel Makower
