I got more good news:
The Greenbuild 2009 Program Committee informed me today that proposal I wrote with the EPA and PPN: Reviving the Oldest Approach to Sustainable Design: How cultural values and a sense of place lead to green building designs has been accepted.
There were 1300 submitted and our proposal was one of the 112 that got in.
The proposal talks about the co-design process CARES used to work with the PPN to co-design culturally inspired, sustainable housing.
I write so many of things things that I completely forgot about this one. :)
