• Jordan Palmeri, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (OR DEQ) – “Low Carbon Concrete: Lessons from Oregon”

• Kate Simonen, University of Washington – “Buy Clean Policy & Low Carbon Concrete”

• Dorian Bailey, The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey – “Clean Construction: Low Carbon Concrete” The webinar will include about a half hour for Q&A.
