The annual ASES Gala Awards Dinner at WREF 2012 was a night to remember. Attendees enjoyed presentations from two prominent speakers, Dennis Dimick and Bill Ritter who intertwined policy and press to share a vision of an energy vision throughout the world.

The first speaker at the Gala was Dennis Dimick from the National Geographic. He is the Executive Environmental Editor for the National Geographic and is responsible for all things related to energy, climate, and sustainability seen in the magazine. His presentation was built on dozens of award-winning photographs from numerous National Geographic photographers that displayed “The Era of Man: Stewardship in the Anthropocene.”

Our second speaker was Former Governor Bill Ritter. He is now heading up CSU’s Center for the New Energy Economy which focuses on accelerating the nation’s development of a new and clean energy economy. His talk focused on a roadmap for decision makers around the country to guide them into a secure, sustainable, and affordable energy future.

Banquet attendees along with an anonymous donor who matched all funds generously donated to support ASES in it’s mission to speed the transition to a sustainable energy economy.
