As we reflect on the past and look toward the future, we are delighted to have Chaz Miller Director, Policy and Advocacy of the National Waste and Recycling Association as our keynote speaker. Chaz never disappoints and you will hear how recycling has evolved over the years….and where do we go from here! Other themes include: Quality Recovery, Sustainable Innovation, Organics Recycling, Georgia on My Mind (focus on manufacturers), Leading by Example, Enhancing & Expanding, and Climate Realities, a focus on the role of materials management in correcting Climate Change (this will include a film screening and moderator on Tuesday afternoon). This year we are having a 25th Anniversary Party on Tuesday night. With music, beverages, food and a silent auction of elite items, we will be celebrating our success. Our theme for the night is “Reveal…the Real Champions of Recycling”. Attendees will be US mailed a hand held mask to embellish with recovered materials and brought to the conference for the Tuesday night part. We will also hold a fun fundraiser for the Burns Scholarship and have a selfie station so you can share your creativity and fun on social media. #GRC25Years
