This year’s topic will focus on the City’s Green Works Orlando initiative and will be highlighted by featured speaker, Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, who will speak about the role of the federal government in partnership with cities like Orlando to develop and meet sustainability goals.
