INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - On Thursday, June 11, the Green Business Network (GBN) will present Indiana Green Business networking series event at the Columbia Club located on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. The event is the first of three that GBN will conduct through the end of 2009.

By means of panel discussion and networking, this event will focus on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funding (ARRA) and governmental grants available on federal, state and local levels for Indiana energy efficiency, energy conservation, and renewable energy projects.

Panel speakers include Paul Krievins of the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority along with members of local governments and non-profit organizations.

This GBN program seeks diversity in its attendance, which will include corporate leaders, business professionals, business owners, local policymakers, educators, and local media persons. GBN has reserved two full two hours for event guests to engage in green networking.
