The Professional Environmental Marketing Association (PEMA) =
(www.ncalpema.org) will be holding its 3rd Annual Technology Summit on July
31, 2001. We are very proud to have three top presentations on the evolving
world of environmental technology:

How Valuable is Environmental Technology - Mr. Craig Barney, EHS Manager for
Stanford University will discuss Stanford University's widespread use of
environmental technology and the importance of environmental technology to
their overall environmental program.  Mr. Barney will discuss Stanford's use
of environmental technology vendors and the importance of environmental
technology awareness in selecting and using consulting firms.

Exporting Environmental Technology - Did you know that many international
markets are voracious consumers of environmental technology? Jim Miwa,
Program Manager of the California Environmental Technology Export Program
will discuss the State of California's efforts to help technology companies
market and sell their technologies abroad, including ongoing efforts to
introduce foreign buyers to California technology companies. Jim will present
a summary of the technology market place in major international markets such
as Southeast Asia, South America, and Europe.
Risk Management and Environmental Technology - Is environmental technology
risky?  Is there greater chance that an new technology will fail? How can you
or your client evaluate the use of environmental technology?  Rick Craig of
Marsh, Inc. will discuss how their firm uses commercially available risk
management software to evaluate the risk associated with the use of various
environmental technologies, and what products are available to help mitigate
the risk of using new technologies. Marsh Inc. is the world's leading risk
and insurance services firm.  Marsh, Inc. is a subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan
Companies, Inc., a global professional services firm with annual revenues
exceeding $10 billion.

This is the Bay Area's premier event for showcasing environmental products,
equipment, technology, software, and other related means and methods for
improving cleanup of contaminated sites, managing environmental compliance,
and improving efficiency on environmental projects. Technology Vendors are
invited to exhibit!  This is a once a year opportunity to showcase your
product or technology to potential clients and learn from our expert panel
about programs and projects that may bring you business.

To simply attend the Technology Summit (rather than exhibiting), the cost is
$25 for pre-registered PEMA members and their pre-registered guests, and $40
for non-members and walk-ins.  CPEO list members can get the $25 rate by
saying they are a guest of Joe Knox.

VENDORS!  IT'S NOT TOO LATE!!
We have 15 Total Table Tops and some spaces are still available. Please act
now and reserve as soon as possible. Please fill out the attached Exhibitor
Registration Form and return it to the address provided. The cost for exhibit
space is extremely reasonable at $175 per table and includes 2 lunches valued

considered "table-top space" and will consist of a large table (approximately
2.5 foot by 8 foot with tablecloth). There are a limited number of electrical
outlets for each exhibit so we do not encourage the use of electrical items,
