Governor Jim Doyle's Conference Welcome:
 Greetings
High School Teachers and Students!
As Governor, I would like to extend a personal
invitation to you to participate in the 2008
Governor's High School Conference on the
Environment on November 12, 2008 at the
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
The State of Wisconsin has long been a leader in
energy resource management and this year’s
conference, Student Power: Conserving Your
Future with Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy, provides an excellence opportunity for
each of you to join the state’s environmental
and renewable energy efforts. I hope you will
take the opportunity to learn about recent
initiatives from the Governor’s Task Force on
Energy Efficiency and Renewables, as well as
Clean Energy Wisconsin – my plan for improving
energy independence, growing new jobs, and
cleaning our air and water.
This conference will present students and
teachers with an important opportunity to learn
about energy efficiency and conservation,
renewable energy alternatives, and
energy-related careers. In addition, you can
develop environmental leadership skills and
deepen your appreciation of our state’s natural
resources.
During the conference, students will explore the
renewable energy possibilities in Wisconsin and
learn how to implement low- or no-cost energy
initiatives to reduce their energy consumption.
They will be able to showcase energy-related
projects they are working on and network with
other high school students, university students,
and career professionals. Please join me in
celebrating and protecting our state's natural
resources by participating in this excellent
opportunity to promote renewable energy
alternatives and energy conservation in
Wisconsin. I hope to see you there! |
