Christi Graham
Founder & CEO
The importance of greening our cities has never been clearer. Sustainably constructed buildings are critical to
everybody’s health. They preserve natural resources, minimize personal health risks, and mitigate climate change.
But it can’t stop there. Buildings are just one facet of the complex system that constitutes the whole built
environment – from transportation to utilities to waste treatment. I’m very encouraged to see events like West
Coast Green that enable every component of the system to meet in one place and find the best solutions together.
Bringing all our resources to building the smartest, most sustainable cities possible is one of the best investments
we can make. San Francisco has long been a leader in the green economy with one of the most aggressive
programs in the country for green building standards in the private commercial and residential sectors interfacing
with the clean energy and clean technology sectors to develop innovative solutions for some of our biggest
environmental challenges.
If you want to be part of this effort, you’re in the right place. West Coast Green leads the way in showcasing the
best thinking of our time and plants the seeds for some of the best solutions in our future. You are the key to
spreading this important information. Welcome to San Francisco, and enjoy the conference!

that are built and the trees that are planted, the true impact of this work will be measured by the
stories of people who will be empowered to live healthy, safe and sustainable lives.

A NOTE fROM OuR EduCATiON diRECTOR
As the pace of change has accelerated, West Coast Green has evolved to stay ahead of the curve. From our beginning,
five years ago, with greener building materials and design, we have grown to incorporate clean technology, energy policy,
emerging business models and now the smart grid and electric vehicles. Each year we put our finger on the pulse and
craft a program about what’s pushing the needle of human potential, constantly exploring ways to tap the power of
innovation and entrepreneurship to build vibrant, resilient communities.
This year we’re addressing scalable solutions and exploring the Power of 10! There’s power in the 10% improvements we
can each make in our daily lives, and power in the 10X solutions that can transform all our lives. So this year we honor
both capability and possibility by asking: “What’s Your Power of Ten?” At West Coast Green our power is to have 100
speakers hold 1000 conversations that inspire 10,000 people to make a positive difference. So our power is really YOUR
power. It is all of our partners, advisors, sponsors, faculty and attendees who bring West Coast Green to life, and we
thank you all for creating it with us.
Enjoy!
