Over 1,800 union workers, environmentalists, business and non-profit leaders gathered in Washington, D.C. to learn about current trends and emerging issues, as well build relationships with people from around the country.

After an exciting day of pre-Conference events, the Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference kicked off on April 16 with a great morning session led off by BlueGreen Alliance Foundation President David Foster. The keynote speakers and panelists on Day One included Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune, United Steelworkers International President Leo W. Gerard, and many more leaders in Congress, the business community and the labor and environmental movements.
