News - West Coast Green Expo & Conference 2007

September 24, 2007

Finding new ways to become part of the solution, Cagwin & Dorward participated in 2007's West Coast Green Conference at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Billed as the largest green building conference & exposition in the country, C&D employees volunteered to help install the landscape surrounding the mKLotus Showhouse Garden.



The exposition showcased the latest technology in Green Building as well as a beautifully installed, sustainable landscape.


Representatives from several departments monitored the Showhouse, Thursday through Saturday, (9/20 - 9/22).  Our personnel networked with Landscape Architects, Property Managers, General Contractors and others, developing relationships to broaden business opportunities and further build our "Green Brand".

A flyer (left) created for the Expo, helped express our green message in a simple "less is more" way. It highlighted our successes which contribute to our mission for a sustainable future.

Many of those who approached our reps. experienced a thoughtful "Oh moment" as our skills and mission were shared.

Meanwhile, the conference continued all four days with at least 40 different sessions running concurrently. The lineup of speakers included Ed Begley Jr., Van Jones, Esq. and Bill Wiehl.

A strong message prevailed, "educate kids today in green building principles of solar installation, and straw-bale house construction, for example, and you will have a skilled trades workforce for generations. The goal is to someday not have a 'green' building section in stores but for green to become the norm. There will be building, which is green, and then everything else".
