Senator Whitehouse was unable to attend but graciously sent us a video. Senator Whitehouse's direct message to us was both compelling and timely to the Chapter and the Summit.

Richard Saul Wurman gave an extraordinary luncheon talk that people were commenting on it throughout the day.

Jack Groh, Director of the National Football League (NFL) Environmental Program, who provided a sweeping look athe NFL's sustainability initiatives,
and Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian who provided his views on sustainability, also gave extraordinary talks.
