Great Lakes Colleagues, Please note the third annual Chicago Council on Global Affairs - Global Midwest Conference, organized in partnership with the Cleveland Foundation, NorTech, and the USDA-Rural Development Agency. The topic is Financing the Midwest Energy Transition: Innovation and Infrastructure in Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, October 18. I have attached our updated conference agenda. As you'll see, we've confirmed substantive panels and break-out sessions for presentations and discussion on the Midwest's transition to an energy economy, including a keynote address by U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce John Fernandez. Richard C. Longworth, author of Caught in the Middle: America's Heartland in the Age of Globalism, will be the conference emcee. http://www.thechicagocouncil.org/chicago_council_event_corporate_detail.php?eventid=2277 The conference is open to the public, so please feel free to promote this broadly to others you think will be interested. If you have any questions, let me know.
