LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY (October 14, 2014) – Vendors are now being sought for the Sullivan County “GET $ET” Energy Symposium to be held Wednesday Oct 22 from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on the SUNY Sullivan campus, Loch Sheldrake.

Organized by RUPCO, an independent contractor for the New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), partners for the event include a host of county-wide organizations: SUNY Sullivan, Sullivan County Planning, Sullivan Alliance for Sustainable Development, Cornell Cooperative of Sullivan County, NYSERDA’s Mid-Hudson Economic Development Growth Extension (EDGE), and others. Symposium topics will include residential and commercial energy programs, renewable energy resources as well as programs that allow homeowners, renters, landlords, not-for-profits and small businesses, and municipalities to more easily participate in energy efficiency programs offered by NYSERDA.

Organizers have invited more than a dozen vendors to exhibit their “energy smart” businesses, products and services. Speakers have been invited to discuss three separate topic tracks throughout the course of the day. Each topic track will host a maximum of three speakers and end with a panel discussion consisting of five experts in their various fields. The three topics will be on residential energy programs, commercial energy programs, and renewable energy resources and programs.

Speakers will include New York State Senator John J. Bonacic, New York State Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, members of the Sullivan County Legislature, SUNY Sullivan faculty and staff members, Sullivan Alliance for Sustainable Development, Cornell Cooperative of Sullivan County, Mid-Hudson EDGE – NYSERDA, as well as Mike D’Arcy, RUPCO Outreach Coordinator for NYSERDA and BPI Regional Energy Coach.
