Greenbuild is thrilled to assemble a powerful line up of Federal Agency leaders to provide a view from Washington on the efforts underway, as well as what is essential in leading the way to clean energy transition on a national scale. Hear from GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan, appointed by President Biden and confirmed last year by the US Senate to lead the General Services Administration whose team oversees one of the world's largest real estate portfolios at the U.S. General Services Administration. She'll speak about the Biden Administration's commitment and progress to greening the federal footprint, catalyzing innovation, saving taxpayer dollars, and creating jobs.

The Administrator is followed by a moderated federal panel featuring Dr. Philip Fine, Principal Deputy Associate Administrator for Policy, Environmental Protection Agency, and Heather Holsinger, Senior Climate Policy Specialist, U.S. Department of Transportation who will share their agencies’ perspectives related to the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and other major legislation passed under the current administration. This panel will share how they plan to ensure funding opportunities are equitably available and discuss ways in which collaboration across federal agencies is being prioritized as essential to balance climate adaptation and resilience at a national level.
