LOS ANGELES, CA — For nearly three decades, the Edmund G. “Pat” Brown Institute of Public Affairs at California State University, Los Angeles (PBI) has focused on state and community issues and been a standard bearer for the legacy of its namesake. On April 23rd, Daniel Fleming will focus on how California’s labor force is moving toward green-collar jobs and how it might position the Golden State as a leader of the green economy.

WHO – Expert panelists; journalists; chamber of commerce members; political scientists; public policy analysts; elected officials and their staff; students; community leaders and other stakeholders

WHERE – Sony Pictures Entertainment in the Rita Hayworth Dining Room @ 10202 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232

WHY – Questions remain as to whether “going green” is a trend and/or if growing green a smart investment?
