Inforum, Michigan's largest business organization for women, will host the 'Beyond Green: Unraveling the Sustainability Mystique' Inforum NAIAS Auto Show Breakfast on Wednesday, January 16, 2008.

A panel of experts -- including include Charlene Wall, Leader, Strategic Business Development, BASF; Sue Cischke, Senior Vice President, Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering, Ford Motor Company; and Catherine Greener, Vice President, Consulting, ACT NOW -- will share with attendees how automotive suppliers can help automakers achieve greater sustainability; why auto companies can't make a rapid change in gearing to go green and what this would do to our economy and environment; and what consumers should look for when buying a "green" vehicle. The event is sponsored by BASF and held in partnership with the Automotive Women's Alliance Foundation. AskPatty's very own President, Jody DeVere, will also be in attendance, as well.
