Yale University Women's Organization Lunch & Learn

Bring your brown bag lunch and cookies will be provided! The public is invited to join us for this important event, hosted by the YUWO Climate Ation Network.

SPEAKER: Lonnie Reed, Board Chair of the Connecticut Green Bank, will speak to us
about the Green Bank’s pivotal role in mobilizing solar and other energy advances to confront
Climate Change.

A former State Representative for 10 years, Lonnie served as House Chair of the Legislature’s
Energy and Technology Committee, and was instrumental in winning bipartisan passage of
Public Act 11-80, which created the Green Bank and added the Energy division to what is now
DEEP - The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

The Green Bank is a quasi-public agency that successfully attracts private investment to
supplement government funding, making the people’s money go farther and helping to fast track
critical objectives.

The focus of Lonnie’s talk will be: “Where is Connecticut now on our Climate Change Journey,
and how do we get where we need to go?”
