The topics of discussion will be on Economics, Energy and Technology and I believe there will be several key note speakers. It is rumuored that Gary Hooser and Mina Morita, as well as Andrea Brower will be panelists. It will be on January 28th. Check the KCC ASUH site for more details It is being sponsored by the student government. It is going to be hosted by Ron Wiley. I have also heard that Mike Gabbard will also be in attendance, and several other Kaua'i residents will also be on the panel. This forum will be simulcast on the internet I believe as well.<br />Ian Ross McKenzie is the coordinator along with Ariel Lothlorian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-44039283035641088342010-01-16T12:12:06.919-10:002010-01-16T12:12:06.919-10:00"How do you do that?
