2011 Green Tie Gala

Thank you to the more than 400 members of our community who attended our 4th Annual Green Tie Gala this year at the Moakley Courthouse. And a special thanks to keynote speaker Dan Esty, and Gala Sponsors Deloitte, Polachi, William Gallagher Associates, GT Advanced Technologies, the CT Clean Energy Finance & Investment Authority, and our partner the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. We're sorry Governor Malloy was unable to attend, but recognize his need to deal with the ongoing difficulties from the preceding week's snow storm.

And to really get a flavor of the evening, don't miss the video above, which provides a humorous but insightful take on where we are in clean energy as 2011 comes to a close. Over the mere five years in which the Clean Energy Council has been in existence, the industry - and perceptions of it - have changed dramatically, as the video shows. Yet, we have seen substantial progress, which is cause for celebration. And of course, our work here in New England's clean energy cluster continues.
