Casey Cochran, Lacey Chamber member from Puget Sound Energy and past board member, has agreed to bring Andy Wappler to speak to us about these topics. Andy Joined Puget Sound Energy in February 2008 as part of the utility’s effort to communicate the need for renewable energy and energy efficiency in order to meet the challenge of climate change.

I encourage all our members to join me January 6 for a great Forum and a real opportunity to network and make new friends.
