Panelists include Dennis Cochrane Office of Sustainability, Virginia Tech, Ed Tucher, Shelter Alternatives, Pat Bixler, Baseline Solar Solutions, Allan Cummins, Montgomery County Waste Management, Mayor Michael Barber, Town of Christiansburg, Sustainability Manager Carol L. Davis, Town of Blacksburg;

Mayor David Horton, City of Radford. Also represented will be energy company American Electric Power and the United States Forest Service, which manages large land tracts in the NRV.
