TCP Secures Title Sponsorship of U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Climate Protection Summit
Aurora, OH (October 22, 2007) – Former President Bill Clinton will join the U.S. Conference of Mayors during a national climate protection summit and first meeting of the signatories of the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement scheduled for November 1-2 in Seattle, Wash. TCP, a member of the mayors’ Business Council, is the title sponsor of the event and will host the summit’s social reception.
The Seattle Summit will be the largest-ever meeting of American mayors devoted solely to climate protection. The theme of the two-day conference is accelerating local leadership. It will bring city leaders from across the country together to promote effective solutions to global warming at the local and national level. More than 100 mayors are expected to attend the event. President Clinton and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York will serve as keynote speakers for the conference.
During the two-day event, TCP will have an opportunity to share ideas with participating mayors on how energy efficient lighting can help in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions linked to global warming. Plus, TCP will be serving in an advisory role as a member of the mayors’ Climate Protection Council, which will address issues facing cities as it pertains to climate change.
This is a very exciting partnership for TCP, which we look forward to continuing in 2008!
