Project Management

Energy Efficiency Forum
Barbara has participated in the planning of this prestigious Washington DC event, co-sponsored by Johnson Controls and the U.S. Energy Association, every year since just after its inception in 1990. The Forum’s mission is to be the premier event that promotes an energy efficiency ethic through the presentation of national and worldwide views on energy efficiency and the resulting impact on the environment, national security and economic growth. The high-level, invitation-only gathering has been successful in advancing energy efficiency issues with the help of many eminent speakers, such as U.S. Cabinet members, Congress members, and international business and industry leaders. President George W. Bush spoke at the 2005 event.

Barbara’s responsibilities include:

  • Acting as Project Manager
  • Strategizing and Planning Forum Events with an Executive Council
  • Proofing/Editing/Writing Materials
  • Coordinating On-Site Logistics
  • Acting as On-Site Video Field Producer
