WHAT: Sustainable Industries Economic Forum

The Northwest Economy is growing, and the upswing includes a diverse set of activities united by the banner of “sustainability.” Old-line industries, such as forest products and energy, are finding new niches. And companies new to the landscape are forming in a variety of sectors. These trends will be put in the context of the Northwest and national economies by a panel of CEO's from companies leading the way. Additional economic insight will be shared by John Mitchell, Western Regional Economist for US Bank (retired). Together, they will shed insight on the job and wealth creation potential of this emerging business category.
