Southeast GREEN Institute
Last May, the Family Economic Security Program at WOW hosted our first-ever GREEN Institute in DC, offering best practices, guidance, and technical assistance to ten programs from across the country interested in developing or expanding green job training programs for women. We are pleased to announce that we will be attempting to repeat our success by hosting a second GREEN Institute, exclusively for organizations based in the Southeast, in Birmingham, AL on April 27-April 29, 2011. WOW will select participants for the Institute through a competitive application process and pay for all expenses in traveling to and staying in Birmingham for the two day conference. We ask that applications be returned to us by Wednesday,
February 9th.

Good Jobs Green Jobs National Conference
WOW's Transforming Pink to Green Workshop Presentation
Recently, registration was opened for the 2011 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference, which is being held February 8-10 in Washington, D.C. And now, we are excited to announce that the workshop program is available to view online.
We encourage you to register for the 2011 Conference now to be sure to take advantage of this once-a-year opportunity.
Every year, the Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference brings together stakeholders from across the spectrum of those working to create good, green jobs across the country. This year, we again received hundreds of proposals, and after careful review, have selected the most interesting and informative sessions that will truly define what is happening now in this critical green jobs effort.
The 2011 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference is the leading forum for sharing ideas and strategies for building the green economy. This year’s Conference — focused on putting these ideas into practice and creating good green jobs across the country — will bring together leaders from the labor, environmental, government and business communities for a discussion on how to move our economy forward with good, safe jobs that help to protect the environment for the next generation.
This year’s workshops represent important concentrations in building the green economy, including: Green Infrastructure and Transportation; State and Local Initiatives and Partnerships; Workforce, Economic Development and Youth Education; Emerging Green Sectors: Recycling, Chemicals, Water, Agriculture and Other Growing Industries; Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency; Business, Investments and New Markets; and Clean Energy Manufacturing.
