You are invited to join Jack Faris, 
Susannah Malarkey, Alvin Kwiram, Rick LeFaivre, and colleagues for a discussion of how our region, building on advances in molecular engineering and nanophotonics, could become as significant in the development of clean energy technologies as we are in global health.
Clean energy solutions will have a profound impact on nearly every aspect of our lives, including global health, transportation, 
communication, computing, lighting, national security, and our economy. Meeting the world’s energy needs in a clean and efficient manner may be the greatest challenge of our generation.
Breakthrough technologies that address this challenge are emerging right here in Washington, but we must act deliberately and soon or we will be left behind in the energy technology race. We are preparing to launch 
a major initiative to help position the Pacific Northwest as a leading energy research center and create an industry cluster focused on energy technologies. We want your input.
Please join us at 3pm on October 22nd at Suncadia to explore this opportunity. You will hear a short presentation and be encouraged to participate in a strategic discussion of how we can lead in finding and developing clean energy solutions. We’ll adjourn before the Leadership Conference begins.
RSVP to Rad Roberts (rad@u.washington.edu or 206-685-8379) so that we can plan appropriately.
We hope you will join us for this important conversation.
