The Clean Economy Network is a national membership-based networking, educational, and advocacy organization shaping a new economy based on clean technology and innovation. Our members are professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers who connect to each other, learn information relevant to business and professional growth, and influence public policies that impact the clean economy. The Central Virginia Chapter through outreach activities, programs, and events works to identify, analyze, and broadly disseminate business, technology and public policy best practices, and innovative ideas that can support the growth and development of the Clean Economy Sector in the Commonwealth.

The Clean Economy Network enables business professionals with an interest in renewable energy to connect with one another, to promote the growth of the renewable energy industry. CEN provides opportunities for networking, education and business creation.

For the first time in Central Virginia, an umbrella organization, "Clean Economy Network" will unify diverse economic sectors to advocate, educate, and network; fostering a coordinated and unprecedented spotlight on Virginia’s growing clean economy.

We were pleased with the turnout to our Chapter Launch Event on September 9, 2010. Nearly 200 attended this outstanding event.

We were treated to a presentation by R. James Woolsey, former CIA Director: Energy in the 21st Century: Could Muir, Patton, and Gandhi Agree on a Program?
