It is important to also know what our clients say about us:

“The experience gained in the first Fort Baker Summit series (Developed/Led by Jane Lorand and Bruce McKenzie) was immediately put to use in the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s launch of the Solar LA Plan.  The interchange and strategic exercises exposed me to several fatal flaws in my personal approach to launching the largest solar development for any major U.S. City.  My new approach and greater stakeholder involvement will bring a more sustainable program for Los Angeles and assure that the aggressive goals are achievable.”

               Randy S. Howard, Director of Resource Planning, Procurement, and Development   LADWP

Note:

Randy Howard, in this position, led LADWP and the City of Los Angeles from a 4% renewable rate to 20+% renewable rate in his ten years as Director of Power Purchasing and Resource Planning.  His work is a model for the nation.  He is currently General Manager of the Northern California Power Agency.
