Going to Nashville to meet Al Gore

ByTim Irvin

Yup.

Along with many others, I am attending a conference and training session with the Climate Project and Al Gore in Nashville this weekend.  I will be trained to give Mr. Gore’s newest presentation based on his latest book Our Choice. The training is free and the deal is I have to give 12 presentations over the next year.  I expect this will be a good challenge.

I am hopeful that I will meet some  inspiring people, learn some fascinating new things and that the weekend will be enlivening.  Stay tuned…
