2010 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference The 2010 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference promises to be an extraordinary event, with three days of keynotes, plenary sessions, and workshops dedicated to transforming ideas into action and building a revitalized, green economy that creates good jobs, reduces global warming, and preserves America’s economic and environmental security.
