From our friends in Pittsburgh, a special event featuring some Rust Belt cross-state sharing:
The sixth session of this year's Guyasuta Fellowship for Public Policy will take place on Tuesday, January 12 from 6:30 to 8:30pm at Pittsburgh City Council chambers. The session will focus on strategies for scaling green economy programs into citywide initiatives. Our special invited guests will be Mayor Dayne Walling of Flint, Michigan and Blaine Bonham of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, which manages the vacant property management / green jobs development program for the City of Philadelphia. The public is encouraged to attend this special session.
The Guyasuta Fellowship is managed by Jackson/Clark Partners in partnership with Councilman Bill Peduto and the Pennsylvania VOICE organization. This year's group of 40 Fellowship Program participants are focusing on developing citizen-driven public policy recommendations on Green Jobs, Clean Energy and Community Recovery.
While this might be a bit last-minute, if any GLUEsters from other cities (Cleveland, Buffalo, etc.) are interested, Guyasuta might be able to help defray travel costs.
