Hi folks, Below is the list of those who have registered for the Summit. On our call this week we agreed to proceed with the Summit regardless of the size of the group--if it stays small we'll treat it as a strategic planning session for the network. But we're still optimistic about getting to 15 or so people, which would support more robust conversations on content. So please reach out to anyone on the list that you know, or would like to know, and encourage them to sign up! We also agreed to use the time of this week's call as a regular monthly call time: The 4th Wednesday of each month at 3pm eastern. Look for a calendar invitation for that. And let us know if there is anything else we at BuildingGreen can do to move things along! thanks, Nadav

Thanks. The date conflicts with a previously planned family vacation. I look forward to the dialog leading up to the summit nonetheless.

Nadav, Just catching up on various correspondence – do we need to book our own hotels for the meetings in Chicago? If so, are there any recommendations?

Yes! We've been focused on getting people signed up and holding off on these logistics, but it's time to nail them down--thanks, Chris. The good news is that we now have 10 people registered for the Summit, so we're really getting close to the critical mass we were hoping for! We'll get hotel info out to everyone shortly.
