Ohio Launches with Big Event

“The Reverend Sally Bingham, founder and president of The Regeneration Project, will give the keynote address at a special public event to be hosted by the newly forming Ohio Interfaith Power and Light.

The program, which will be held from 1:00-4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 15, 2008, at Broad Street Presbyterian Church, 760 East Broad Street, Columbus, is a response to the rapidly growing interest in climate change among people of faith.

Also speaking during the program will be: the Reverend Rebecca Tollefson, Executive Director of the Ohio Council of Churches; Al Compaan, Chair of the Physics and Astronomy Department at the University of Toledo and leader of a research group focused on thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar cells; and David Wilhelm, founder of Adena Ventures, a venture capital fund targeting central Appalachia, which includes the southeastern Ohio area in which he was raised.”
