This forum will be valuable to members of existing green teams in companies and schools; people who would like to form green teams in their organizations; human resource specialists; corporate managers; city and county employees who would like to learn about the value of green teams in organizations in their areas.

Speakers include:
* Libby Reder, eBay

I'm always skeptical of this kind of stuff because ultimately, the company is saved money when staff volunteers to do stuff. I'm sure that companies like Genentech would prioritize environmental issues if they thought they were important.
