Press Conference in Chicago Monday to Release the Great Lakes Regional
Collaboration Strategy
Washington, D.C. - EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson will join other federal, state, local and tribal officials to unveil the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy at Summit II in Chicago on Monday, December 12.
Over the past year, more than 1,500 people from throughout the Great
Lakes basin participated on eight strategy
teams to develop the
recommendations that form the basis of the strategy.
The strategy was devised as directed by
President George W. Bush's Executive Order 12240 (May 18, 2004), which
recognized the national significance of the Great Lakes and created a
Great Lakes Regional Collaboration.
Summit I was held on December 3, 2004, in Chicago, with conveners
representing the federal government and Great Lakes states, cities,
tribes and public
interest groups as well as the
region's congressional delegation.
Representatives from the Collaboration will speak and then
sign a resolution.
A press conference will follow.
When: Monday, December 12, 2005
Summit II is from 1 - 2:30 p.m. Press conference begins at 2:30
p.m.
Where: John G. Shedd Aquarium, Phelps Auditorium, 1200 S. Lake Shore
Dr.
Check-in: Media representatives should enter through the south
entrance. TV crews may park at the "bus turnaround"
outside that entrance.
