How can green practices be used to grow the area economy? What must be done to keep Oregon at the forefront of the nation's cleantech movement? How can state and local governments help get the job done? These were just a few of the questions addressed in "The Next Step: Greening the Path to Recovery," the fourth annual Green Business Symposium, March 31-April 1, at the UO White Stag Building in Portland. Participants had the opportunity to attend four panels presented by regional and national business leaders, policymakers, academics, and legal practitioners. From the earliest planning through execution, the entire event was coordinated by the Green Business Initiative Student Association, a joint venture of MBA candidates and law students.
