Join us for "The Business of Southern Energy"

We invite you to join us on Thursday, February 12, 2009, from noon to 2:00 p.m., for a Southern Growth Policies Board forum on "The Business of Southern Energy: Making Choices for Your Community." The forum will take place in the boardroom of the Alabama State Council on the Arts in Montgomery and will be moderated by Jennifer Jones and Christopher McCauley, graduate students in the department of political science at Auburn University.

Formed by the region's governors in 1971, Southern Growth Policies Board is a non-partisan public policy think tank based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and provides a network for collaboration among a diverse cross-section of the region's governors, legislators, business and academic leaders, and the economic and community development sectors. This annual forum, sponsored by the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities in the College of Liberal Arts, the Alabama State Council on the Arts, and DesignAlabama, is one of several forums to be convened around the state by SGPB partners this spring.

To RSVP and receive a copy of the discussion guide and directions to the Alabama State Council on the Arts offices, please email mwilson@auburn.edu or call 844-4946 by Tuesday, February 10.
