Conference Planning Committee
NESEA is fortunate to work with an extraordinary group of more than 90 professionals who volunteer their time to create this conference. The committee forms in April each year and meets several times throughout the summer and autumn to identify topics of interest and speakers with cutting-edge information. If you are interested in being part of the planning for BuildingEnergy12, please indicate your wishes on the evaluation form, or talk with NESEA staff.
Special thanks this year to our Chair, Bruce Coldham of Coldham and Hartman Architects and Vice Chair, Robert Leaver of NewCommons. Bruce has helped systematize the planning of the conference and developed a team of Track Chairs and working group members to create diverse, data-rich content. Robert has guided the Track Chairs toward creating sessions that are even more effective learning experiences.
Call for Proposals for BuildingEnergy12
The open process of choosing compelling topics and speakers ensures a lively and engaging conference. The call for proposals for BuildingEnergy12 will go out next April to the NESEA membership, BuildingEnergy11 attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. The deadline for proposals will be June, 2011. Of course, proposals will be accepted from the professional associates of the above list, but we can't contact you if we don't know who you are! Don't miss another chance to submit your proposal: attend BuildingEnergy11 in Boston March 8-10, 2011. Register now.
