The event will feature a panel discussion with representatives from local governments, EcoAction Partners, San Miguel Power Association (SMPA), Sheep Mountain Alliance and others, facilitated by Madeline Gonzalez Allen, Sustainability Officer & Board of Directors, Telluride Rotary Club, Telluride Ecology Commission, Consultant and co-Founder, InnoVital.
