August 12-14, 2009, Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson hosted an Appreciative Inquiry (AI) summit, bringing together a diverse group of people vested in and dedicated to Cleveland to use their vast knowledge and imagination to create an action plan for building a green economy for Cleveland's future. The goal was to create a 10-year action plan for economic sustainability that will support business growth; protect the environment; and, create opportunities for individuals to prosper. Sustainable Cleveland 2019 attracted top-notch speakers to help inspire participants and encourage dialogue at the summit, including experts from the White House Council on Environmental Quality, IBM, and Continental Airlines. This year's summit (2010: Vision to Action) will focus on the implementation of various programs developed during and after the 2009 summit. Come join the movement - What is your "Green"?
