State Architect Dave Thorman, chairman of the Summit’s Advisory Board, spoke several times during the event’s general sessions and presented a workshop and sessions during the education program. He also handed out awards at the Green Schools Leadership Awards. “The number one goal [of the Summit] is awareness,” he said, “and information and knowledge of what can be done. That’s why it’s great that we have the exhibitors, the different programs, all the workshops is to make people aware and get them excited about what can be done and how to do it."
