Our Speakers
Alicia Culver, Responsible Purchasing Network
Alicia Culver is the Executive Director of the Responsible Purchasing Network and an international expert on sustainable procurement with nearly three decades of hands-on experience in this field. She also has deep knowledge of the energy-efficiency, environmental, and technical attributes of lighting equipment. Alicia has used her expertise to create model policies, specifications and contracts designed to accelerate the transition to high-performance LED lamps and luminaires that have been adopted by a wide array of states, local governments, and businesses. Recently, RPN teamed up with several other NGOs to publish two reports documenting the energy, mercury-reduction, and economic benefits of LEDs. This research was used to successfully advocate for bans on new sales of fluorescent lamps in California and Vermont and throughout the European Union. Alicia will be sharing the highlights and policy recommendations of these reports.
