Upcoming Forum: The Great American City: Fueling Progress and Prosperity

June 13, 2011

Join us for a special forum that will highlight how leaders from

across the nation are utilizing this important domestic resource.

Learn how natural gas fleets are helping to strengthen their

communities through economic development and energy innovation,

specifically through the utilization of natural gas vehicles.

Over the past few years, advances in technology have allowed us to

discover and develop vast supplies of natural gas in shale plays

across the United States – in volumes that can fuel our country for

generations to come. Countless opportunities for communities

nationwide have been made possible thanks to this abundant resource.

This domestic resource is helping America reduce its dependence on

foreign sources of energy from geopolitically unstable regions of the

world and paving the way for a cleaner – and more secure – energy

future for our country, cities and towns.

This forum will be moderated by Conference of Mayors Energy Committee Chair Santa Ana (CA) Mayor Miguel A. Pulido. Panelists are Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard, North Little Rock Mayor Patrick Henry Hays, and America’s Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) – American Gas Association (AGA) Transportation Collaborative Executive Director Dr. Kathryn Clay.
