I recently met Dennis at the GreenDay Conference in Las Vegas, NV. He was a panel speaker and shared a refreshing and enthusiastic presentation detailing some of his experiences in working on the LEED Platinum rating for the Proximity Hotel.

He's a great guy and a delightful and insightful speaker. This would be a definite must attend for a property planning to pursue an LEED rating.

His hotel - The Proximity is listed in the new social network site iStayGreen.org with a 5 Leaf Green Rating (the highest possible) which can be viewed at http://www.istaygreen.org/property.cfm/hid/11368345

Enjoy the seminar!
