The aim of this session is to provide participants with insight on the topic of sustainability both conceptually as well as practically. Each panel member will deliver a short presentation that focuses on the following points: (i) discuss the work of their respective offices in terms of how it incorporates and advances the principles of sustainability and sustainable decision-making; (ii) discuss future plans toward development of integrated environmental management work at EPA and fostering environmental stewardship; and (iii) give some insights into potential collaborative opportunities for ELN members to become involved in sustainability-related work. The presentation by each panel member will be limited to 10 minutes to allow ample opportunity for discussions and questions and answers.
SECOND HOUR: INDIVIDUAL CAREER DEVELOPMENT: SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR CAREERS
Dr. William Farland (Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator for Science, ORD)
