Bob
Dixson, Mayor of Greensburg, Kansas
Greensburg, Kansas, was nearly completely
destroyed by one of the strongest tornados in recorded history
in May 2007. Eleven residents were tragically killed and
those remaining were left with the daunting challenge of
rebuilding in a town that was already experiencing economic
difficulties prior to the tragedy.
Since his election as mayor in May 2008, Bob Dixson has played
a major role in leading the massive rebuilding effort and maintaining
the movement started by residents: that all structures built
or rebuilt in Greensburg will be LEED platinum certification,
which is the highest certification offered by the United States
Green Building Council. In addition, Mayor Dixson has led
city council to pass resolutions making it possible for the
city be powered 100% with wind energy.
The Keynote Address
will be at the main stage. |
