As part of its ongoing focus on advocacy and economic development, The Business Council of Westchester will present a major energy conference bringing together the industry’s biggest players along with government, private and public sector leaders for a panel discussion on how to transition into the new energy landscape.

The conference – Running on Empty? Transitioning to a New Energy Landscape – will take place from 9 am. to 12 noon on Friday, May 10, at the Crowne Plaza, located at 66 Hale Ave., White Plains. Kindly register in advance to secure your spot today.
