BEA 8th Annual Business Breakfast a huge success!

The BEA hosted more than 350 local business people at its Eighth Annual Business Breakfast on February 27, 2009. Randy Poole from the Sonoma County Water Agency, Randy DeCaminada from PG&E, and Mollie Mangerich from Sonoma County Waste Management Agency provided forecasts of the supply and cost of water, energy, and waste resources for businesses in the upcoming year.

A highlight of this year's program was the "Clean" Technology panel, featuring local executives from "clean" tech companies, who gave an update on the emerging "Green/Clean" Technology movement.
