"Duane Elgin totally engaged more than 2,000 green building professionals in a spirited dialog about the future, and in the process began conversations between individuals that spilled over into the conference halls. Duane's strength is 'speaking with,' instead of 'talking to.' Participants were empowered to be part of an ongoing dialog about our mutual future. As chair of the world's largest green building conference, I can say that Duane's impact was immediate, profound and likely to be lasting on our industry."
--Jerry Yudelson, MBA, Chair, 2005 US Greenbuild Conference
