If the economic & environmental crises have your
audience
in a funk, Storm's keynotes are the antidote.
they'll love hearing about the
restored future of the world, and their role in it...whether
that role is
real estate investing,
restoring nature, or stimulating community revitalization.
Storm's "green
revitalization" talks and workshops
are ideal for the following audiences:
COMMUNITIES:
If your city or region (rural or metropolitan)...
-
Has a new comprehensive plan, and
wishes to increase it's ability to implement it
successfully;
-
Is ready for revitalization, but is
having trouble attracting the right kinds of
redevelopers, private investors, or public funding
(federal, state/provincial, or foundations);
-
Wants to initiate or renew an ongoing
(permanent) revitalization program.
NON-PROFITS,
UNIVERSITIES, & FOUNDATIONS: If your
institution...
-
Wants to integrate its specific focus
with the overall socioeconomic or environmental
revitalization of your community or region;
-
Wants to more-effectively engage all
stakeholder groups (government, business, NGO, citizen,
academic, citizen, and news media);
-
Wants to attract new sources of
revenue.
CORPORATIONS,
INVESTORS, & PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS: If
your leaders/members...
-
Wish to become more aware of the
opportunities in the fast-growing, $2 trillion/year
global restoration economy that's renewing our natural,
built, and socioeconomic environments;
-
Wish to get the inside track on
community restoration, remediation, and redevelopment
projects before the RFPs are even written.

What Am I?
(A Personal Message from Storm)
I'm not a
planner, engineer, architect, developer, academic,
ecologist, sociologist, economist, or policy wonk.
I'm simply positioned where the
world's leading-edge restoration and revitalization experts come together.
Some call me a renewal
integrator. Some say I specialize in being a
revitalization generalist.
Recently, the
Hamilton (ON) Spectator (Jan. 29,
2010) called me the "green redevelopment expert",
while
the
Albany (NY) Times-Union (Feb. 20,
2010) called me a "nationally-recognized
revitalization expert".
In truth, I'm merely fortunate
that my work puts me at the
crossroads of the new trends, disciplines, & businesses
that make our world healthier, wealthier, & more
beautiful. I don't do this wonderful
work myself. But, hire me for your
event, & I'll tell your audience about those who do it
best, &
how they can do likewise. |
