Big wind power conference coming to MSU Monday
When it comes to wind energy, why isn't Michigan a leader? After all, the state has 3,100 miles of mostly windswept Great Lakes shoreline, plenty of manufacturing plants capable of turning out the mechanical bearings, gearboxes, castings and forgings that are the guts of wind turbines, and engineering know-how developed over a century of industrial development. Next Monday and Tuesday, the Land Policy Institute at Michigan State University takes a big step to change that at the first “Manufacturing and Developing Wind Energy Systems in Michigan” conference. More than 200 industrialists, utility industry executives, business leaders, policy specialists, researchers, and investors are expected to attend the two-day event. The intent of the conference is to stimulate the $20 billion global wind industry’s interest in settling in Michigan to design and manufacture generating equipment, and also to recruit companies to develop the state’s potential as a source of wind energy. More.

Friends and Supporters of S.E.N.D.
Jim will need some "support materials" (S.E.N.D. brochure, business cards, etc.) if he is to make the most of this opportunity.
He may also need some help in defraying the costs incurred with this commitment on our behalf.
Please comment if you believe you can facilitate and/or help with any of the above.
Best,
Jim
Excellant lead in and comment! We must format a brochure that briefly describes our intent.
That is simply, to develop learning environments (Projects) that always have at their foundation an outline (roadmap) that illustrates succinctly how each project will lead to development of the "creative potential"in all the students(everyone is a student)and to also highlight always how each step of the process is empowering the next "project". It is this interconnectedness that is the "Sustainable" in SEND.
