Alan Hecht, US EPA’s Director of Sustainable Development

On July 1, 2003, Dr. Alan Hecht joined EPA’s research office as the Director for Sustainable Development. Dr. Hecht was the White House coordinator for the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. For the past two years, he was the Director for International Environmental Affairs at the National Security Council and Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and then as Associate Director for Sustainable Development at CEQ.

After Dr. Hecht speaks, Roel Hammerschlag will preside over the conference awards. The awards were produced by a local glass artist - they are really cool!
