By admin • June 9th, 2010

On June 8, 2010, PQA managing partner Ken Pringle spoke on the opening stakeholders panel of EPA’s three-day national conference, “Resilient Water Management Strategies for a Changing Climate: Developing Decision-Support Tools for Local Communities.” The bi-coastal conference was held simultaneously by teleconference to live audiences in EPA’s Region 2 office in New York City and Region 9 office in San Francisco, and broadcast nationally via webinar. Pringle, who has served for 20 years as the mayor of Belmar, NJ, spoke about the steps that his coastal community has taken to prepare for the impacts of climate change.

The panel followed a keynote address by Andy Resnick, who writes the New York Time’s Dot Earth blog. Other panel members included: Aaron Koch, Policy Advisor, New York City Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability; Jay Bloomfield, Chief of Inland Lakes and Fresh Waters, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; Susanne DeRoches, Sustainable Design Manager, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; and Rebecca Weidman, Director of Water Resource Protection, New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission.
