Hi Kathy,

Morgan is the ASSOC DIR SUSTAINABILITY, F&S • Facilities and Services and the interim Director of Capital Programs and is on the Green Research Committee for creating the green labs program on campus.

We were brainstorming on how to shed light on the need to develop a complete green labs program vs. selecting components of a program,  and perhaps stunting the full potential and growth of the program.

She asked if I knew anyone outside the university that is an expert on green labs programs that might be willing to share insights and the importance of creating an all inclusive program.

You are definitely the person for this!

She shared that the university board of trustees members are having a retreat and maybe you would be able to present the benefits of your program, how it all comes together and ties into larger university mission.

We are not sure at this time if we can get you on the agenda but am reaching out to see if you are interested and available?

Morgan- can you sha re when this retreat is?

Thank you

Paul Foote

Hi Paul and Morgan,

Great to hear from you, Paul, and thanks for thinking of me.

This is definitely information that I can speak to and that I am more than happy to share.  Reach out when you know the time and date (and if they want me to present) so I can see if that will work with my schedule.  I assume it would be virtual, correct?

Hi Kathy,

Sorry I did not respond earlier and was not able to chat at the last UAG meeting!

This format has changed and the allotted time the board members have on the sustainability topic has changed.

In leu of that meeting, maybe our Green Research Committee would be a great place for you to share?

If you are still agreeable with the sharing idea, I will chat with the committee chairs and get a schedule.

Sounds good, Paul.  Happy to help in any way I can.  Would it be possible to aim for after I2SL rather than beforehand?

Hi  Kathy,

Terrific, I am so glad you are generous and supportive of promoting sustainable labs!

Certainly we can wait until after I2SL, see you there.

Best

Paul
