Jessica Cohodes said… - Hi Nancy,
My name is Jessica Cohodes. I am planning to invite Transition members to the HUB meeting on Nov. 22nd @ the Urban Ecology Center for an entire meeting on Urban Planning based on Permaculture Principles. Would you be willing to speak/educate? Matthew Howard, the new Dir. for Environmenal Sustainability will be there to discuss his focus within the municipality and I was hoping to invite a panel of speakers as well including: Michael Carrier (MSOE), Mark Keane (UWM Arch 350), and Manuel who is working directly with Water projects in Urban Planning. We would finish off the meeting with an Open Space/Brainstorming excersize.
Please let me know - so happy you're a part of the group!
