Thanks to those of you who were able to make it to the Clean Power, Healthy Communities conference for your interest, enthusiasm, engagement, contributions, and commitment last week. It was great to interact with everyone and to build on our common efforts. For those that were not able to make it, you can still get involved with the working groups that were formed. 

We're also working on putting all the presentations, photos, and videos online (see below for dynamic presentations from TURN's Mark Toney and Marin County Supervisor Charles McGlashan). So stay tuned for another notice from us later this month.
