“Now, more than ever, building industry leaders need to incorporate a comprehensive understanding of how new regulations and the development of the green movement will impact the business,” said Ralph Vasami, Esq., Kellen Company group vice president. 

Roundtable discussions will take place on a number of key topics, including:

  • Federal participation:  Beyond the midterm elections
  • State and local adoption:  Follow the Money
  • Sustainability codes and standards
