    Hi, David:

    The U.S. Green Building Council is located in Washington, DC. They are
    the ones who promulgated the LEED standards, which many municipal
    governments and a few state governments have incorporated in legislation
    in order to turn their government building projects into green
    projects. They would be a good contact for knowledgeable speakers.
    They are very responsive, as I worked with them on some zoning issues
    here in Bellingham.

    *Business Address
    *U.S. Green Building Council
    1800 Massachusetts Avenue NW
    Suite 300

    For speaker requests: speakerinquiry@usgbc.org

    Good luck,

    Charles Dyer
