(INTRODUCTION)

PRESIDENT BURR, THANK YOU FOR THE KIND INTRODUCTION. AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB FOR THE WARM WELCOME.

A FEW OF YOU IN THIS ROOM MIGHT BE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER…I’M CERTAINLY NOT—BUT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN CONGRESS PASSED A LAW WITH A UNANIMOUS VOTE IN THE SENATE—AND ONLY ONE NAY VOTE IN THE HOUSE.

NOPE—NOT THE NAMING OF A POST OFFICE…ANYONE? 

IT WAS THE CLEAN AIR ACT OF 1970. A HISTORIC LAW, SIGNED BY A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. IT WAS A GLOBAL TURNING POINT…

THE CLEAN AIR ACT WAS PASSED IN RESPONSE TO A CHANGING WORLD…IT SOUGHT TO BUILD THIS COUNTRY UP, TO LOOK FORWARD, AND TO CONSIDER HOW OUR ACTIONS WOULD IMPACT PEOPLE WE’D NEVER KNOW…AND A FUTURE WE’D NEVER SEE OURSELVES. 

TODAY, TIMES ARE DIFFERENT…BUT THE NATURE OF CHANGE, WELL, HAS NOT CHANGED. 

THE WORLD CONTINUES TO BE IN MOTION…AND IT WILL KEEP CHANGING, REGARDLESS OF THE FEW WHO CHOOSE NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. 

(MISSION OF THE AGENCY IS TIMELESS)

AND WHILE THE WORLD CONTINUES TO CHANGE, EPA’S MISSION CONTINUES TO ENDURE. 

OUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH – TO SAFEGUARD THE PRECIOUS NATURAL RESOURCES WE NEED TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE.

OUR TASK IS TIMELESS. IT IS NON-PARTISAN. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO EVERY SINGLE LIFE. 

WE CANNOT PURSUE LIBERTY OR HAPPINESS WITHOUT CLEAN AIR TO BREATHE OR CLEAN WATER TO DRINK.

HARD WORKING AMERICANS GET UP EVERY MORNING, GET THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL, AND TAKE THAT EXTRA CLASS OR PICK UP THAT EXTRA SHIFT…

…THE LAST THING THEY WANT IS TO DEAL WITH IS THE RANCOR THAT TOO OFTEN CHARACTERIZES OUR POLITICS…

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE MAY BE FED UP WITH WHAT THEY HEAR IN WASHINGTON…BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE DON’T DO. 

THEY CARE ABOUT CLEAN AIR…THEY CARE ABOUT SAFE DRINKING WATER AND FISHABLE, SWIMMABLE RIVERS AND STREAMS…THEY CARE ABOUT SAFE PLACES TO LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY…

EVERY ONE OF THOSE HARD-WORKING AMERICANS, THEY CARE ABOUT FOOD THAT’S FREE OF HARMFUL PESTICIDES, PRODUCTS FREE OF HARMFUL TOXICS, AND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND KIDS’ FUTURE’S FREE FROM THE DANGERS OF CLIMATE CHANGE…

WE’RE HERE, BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DEMANDED WE BE HERE…WE’RE HERE, BECAUSE WE STAND BETWEEN POLLUTION AND OUR PEOPLE…

LOOK, WE’VE MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN THE PAST 5 DECADES…

POLLUTION TODAY IS LESS VISIBLE THAN THE “GOOD OLD DAYS” WHEN SMOKESTACKS SPEWED BLACK CLOUDS AND RIVERS CAUGHT FIRE…

… BUT PEOPLE EXPECT US TO DEAL WITH POLLUTION THEY CAN’T SEE – LIKE AIR POLLUTION THAT TRAVELS INTO OUR COUNTRY AND ACROSS OUR STATES…OR CHEMICALS IN OUR DRINKING WATER. 

…PEOPLE EXPECT US TO DO OUR JOBS USING THE BEST SCIENCE AND RESEARCH TO DEFINE CHALLENGES AND CRAFT SOLUTIONS…

…PEOPLE EXPECT US TO UNDERSTAND AND USE CHANGE AS A CATALYST FOR GROWTH AND PROSPERITY…

IF WE DO NOT—IF WE PLACE RANCOR OVER ACTION…IF WE BETRAY THE PEOPLE WHO PUT US HERE…IF WE STUBBORNLY DENY THE SCIENCE AND CHANGE AROUND US—WE WILL FALL VICTIM TO OUR OWN PARALYSIS.

(INEVITABILITY / CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE / CLIMATE ACTION)

SCIENCE TELLS US THAT THERE IS NO BIGGER THREAT TO AMERICAN PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY THAN THE THREAT OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE. AND IF YOU TAKE NOTHING ELSE FROM MY SPEECH TODAY, TAKE THIS: THE TRAIN TO A GLOBAL, CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE HAS ALREADY LEFT THE STATION.

WE HAVE A CHOICE…

WE CAN CHOOSE TO GET ON BOARD, TO LEAD…

OR WE CAN CHOOSE TO BE LEFT BEHIND, TO STAND STUBBORNLY STILL…

WHEN PRESENTED WITH THAT CHOICE, PRESIDENT OBAMA CHOSE LEADERSHIP. HE CHOSE ACTION. HE CHOSE A CALCULATED INVESTMENT IN OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE.

PRESIDENT OBAMA RECOGNIZES THAT THE INEVITABILITY OF OUR CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE IS BIGGER THAN ANY ONE PERSON OR NATION.

THE FACTS TODAY PAINT A CLEAR PICTURE—CLIMATE CHANGE IS AMONG THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH, ECONOMIC, AND SECURITY CHALLENGES WE’VE EVER FACED.

AND UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION, WITH AN ECONOMIC RECESSION THE LIKES OF WHICH WE HAVE NOT SEEN SINCE THE 1930S, HE HAD THE FORESIGHT TO INVEST IN SOLAR AND WIND AND CLEAN AUTO MANUFACTURING…

…TO SET A COURSE FOR STRONG DOMESTIC CLIMATE ACTION—POSITIONING THE U.S. TO LEAD THE WAY IN SECURING A HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT…

AND HE WAS RIGHT—THE PARIS AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED AND IS NOW IN FULL FORCE.

…AND EPA WILL CONTINUE TO BE ESSENTIAL TO CUTTING CARBON POLLUTION IN THE UNITED STATES, AND MAKING GOOD ON OUR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP…

• WE’VE SET GHG STANDARDS FOR CARS AND TRUCKS THAT SLASH CARBON POLLUTION AND SAVE PEOPLE MONEY AT THE PUMP…WHILE BOOSTING THE AUTO INDUSTRY FROM NEAR BANKRUPTCY TO RECORD INCREASES IN SALES AND JOBS
   
• …WE’VE SET METHANE STANDARDS FOR LANDFILLS AND NEW OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION UNITS—AND ARE GATHERING DATA TO SET STANDARDS ON EXISTING ONES…
   
• WE HELPED BROKER TWO HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS TO LOWER CARBON EMISSIONS FROM AIRCRAFT…
   
• …AND SOMETHING ELSE I’M VERY PROUD OF, WE LED THE U.S. DELEGATION THAT SUCCESSFULLY AMENDED AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT TO REDUCE HYDROFLUOROCARBONS…A HIGHLY POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS. THIS ONE AGREEMENT ALONE AVOIDS UP TO 8O BILLION METRIC TONS OF GHG EMISSIONS—WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF 10 YEARS OF U.S. GHG EMISSIONS. 
   
• AND, OF COURSE, WE TOOK HISTORIC ACTION TO SET SENSIBLE CARBON POLLUTION LIMITS AT OUR LARGEST STATIONARY SOURCES—OUR POWER PLANTS…THROUGH THE CLEAN POWER PLAN.

NOW, I’VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE TALK ABOUT EPA’S CLEAN POWER PLAN LIKE IT’S THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS COUNTRY’S TRANSITION TO CLEAN ENERGY …

THE REALITY IS, THOSE FOLKS GIVE US TOO MUCH CREDIT. THE CPP WAS DESIGNED TO FOLLOW THE CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION ALREADY UNDERWAY…THE ONE THAT THE ENERGY MARKET NOW DEPENDS ON—AND CONTINUES TO DEMAND.

JUST LOOK AT WHERE THE US ENERGY SECTOR IS NOW.

• IN 2014 ALONE CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENT INCREASED BY 14 PERCENT…MORE THAN 5 TIMES GREATER GROWTH THAN THE REST OF THE U.S. ECONOMY. 
   
• U.S. POWER PLANT CO2 EMISSIONS IN 2015 WERE ABOUT 24 PERCENT BELOW 2005 LEVELS, ALREADY WELL ON THE WAY TO THE CPP’S 2030 TARGETS.
   
• 2015 EMISSIONS WERE ABOUT THE SAME AS THE CPP FIRST YEAR GOAL IN 2022, A FULL 7 YEARS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
   
• 24 STATES HAD LOWER EMISSIONS IN 2015 THAN THEIR 2022 ANNUAL GOAL…INCLUDING STATES LIKE OHIO, NORTH CAROLINA, PENNSYLVANIA, AND SOUTH DAKOTA.
   
• AND THE ENERGY INFORMATION AGENCY ESTIMATES THAT ALMOST 70% OF NEW UTILITY-SCALE GENERATING CAPACITY EXPECTED TO COME ONLINE IN 2016 WILL BE ZERO-EMITTING, MOSTLY SOLAR AND WIND.

CLEARLY THERE IS MORE GOING ON THAN THE CPP. LOOK, I’M NOT TRYING TO SAY THE CPP ISN’T IMPORTANT. 

THE TRUTH IS, TO EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE AND VIRTUES OF THE CLEAN POWER PLAN WILL NOT FIT INTO THIS SPEECH….IT WILL NOT FIT INTO A SOUNDBITE…AND IT WILL CERTAINLY NOT FIT INTO A TWEET—BELIEVE ME, WE’VE TRIED. 

BUT I TRULY BELIEVE, GUIDED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA’S DELIBERATE VISION, HISTORY WILL SHOW THAT THE CLEAN POWER PLAN MARKED A TURNING POINT IN AMERICAN CLIMATE LEADERSHIP. A POINT WHERE OUR COUNTRY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND DELIVERED…AND THE WORLD FOLLOWED…

IT’S A SIGN OF U.S. COMMITMENT…IT’S A MARKET SIGNAL TO INVESTORS AND INNOVATORS…AND IT BRINGS STABILITY AND CERTAINTY TO THE ENERGY SECTOR, AND THE WORLD. 

BUT THE GLOBAL TRANSITION TO A LOW CARBON ECONOMY IS MUCH MORE THAN ONE REGULATION…THE ENERGY MARKET AND THE COMMITMENT OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR ARE NOW DRIVING OUR INEVITABLE JOURNEY…

…A JOURNEY THAT’S CONSISTENT WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY NATION’S UNDERSTANDING OF CLIMATE SCIENCE—AND OUR OBLIGATION TO ACT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURES. 

WE’RE IN A SPECTACULARLY DIFFERENT PLACE TODAY THAN WE WERE WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA TOOK OFFICE. BEFORE, DEVELOPING COUNTRIES POINTED A FINGER AT US…NOW, THEY ARE WONDERING IF THE U.S. WILL TURN ITS BACK ON SCIENCE AND BE LEFT BEHIND. THE CHOICE IS OURS.

AS THE PRESIDENT SAID, THE INEVITABILITY OF OUR CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE IS BIGGER THAN ANY ONE PERSON OR NATION.

AND IT MUST BE GUIDED BY A SIMPLE, PROFOUND TRUTH: WE DON’T HAVE TO CHOSE ECONOMY OR ENVIRONMENT…WE CAN, AND MUST, CHOOSE BOTH.

THIS TRUTH HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THE PROGRESS WE’VE MADE AT EPA, AND WE HAVE A TRACK RECORD TO SHOW FOR IT…

(PROGRESS)

OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA’S LEADERSHIP, WE HAVE TAKEN TREMENDOUS STRIDES FORWARD IN ECONOMIC GROWTH: 8 YEARS OF ECONOMIC EXPANSION AND A RECORD INCREASE IN MEDIAN INCOMES…

…AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE’VE MADE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS IN CUTTING POLLUTION AND PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH.

PRESIDENT OBAMA UNDERSTANDS SO CLEARLY THAT A CLEAN, HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IS NOT A LUXURY. IT’S NOT WINDOW DRESSING. IT’S A RIGHT. IT’S THE FOUNDATION OF OUR ECONOMY AND OUR LIVES...

OUR WORK TO CURB POLLUTION MUST ALWAYS FOCUS NOT ONLY WHAT OUR NATION NEEDS AS A WHOLE—BUT ON THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISPROPORTIONALLY HURT…ON DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THAT BEAR THE BURDEN OF ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE…

AND IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, WE’VE PAID ATTENTION TO NATIONAL CHALLENGES—AS WELL AS THE NEED TO PARTNER WITH OUR STATES, LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND TRIBES—AS WE SET MEASURABLE, COMMON SENSE STANDARDS. HERE’S JUST A SAMPLING OF WHAT WE’VE DONE:

WE’VE REDUCED MERCURY EMISSIONS FROM POWER PLANTS AND PROTECTED MORE PEOPLE FROM HARMFUL LEVELS OF OZONE AND PARTICULATE MATTER IN OUR AIR;

WE’VE LOWERED SULFUR CONTENT IN FUELS AND POLLUTION FROM CARS…MADE STATES ACCOUNTABLE FOR HARMFUL LEVELS OF AIR POLLUTION THEY SEND DOWNWIND…REQUIRED FENCE LINE MONITORS AROUND REFINERIES…AND MADE PROGRESS IN CLEANING UP OUR PORTS…

WE’VE CLARIFIED THE JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT…REDUCED TOXIC EFFLUENT FROM POWER PLANTS…AND SET NEW STANDARDS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF COAL ASH…

WE’VE PROVIDED FARMWORKERS THE SAME LEVEL OF PROTECTIONS OTHER WORKERS ENJOY AND MADE PROGRESS IN RESTORING ICONIC WATERBODIES LIKE THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND GREAT LAKES...

AND WE’VE MADE SURE THAT THESE STANDARDS ARE MET WITH ENFORCEMENT THAT PUTS PEOPLE FIRST…

• …LIKE THE DEEPWATER HORIZON SPILL SETTLEMENTS THAT PROVIDED $20 BILLION TO RESTORE AND PROTECT THE GULF…OR THE VOLKSWAGEN SETTLEMENT THAT ENSURES $14 BILLION DOLLARS TO COMPENSATE CONSUMERS, REDUCE POLLUTION, AND BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ZERO-EMITTING VEHICLES. 

WE’VE LEVERAGED THE POWER OF INFORMATION TO BROADEN AND EMPOWER OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ENTERPRISE…

• … THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE ENERGY STAR, WATER SENSE, AND SAFER CHOICE WHICH EMPOWER CONSUMERS TO GROW DEMAND AND MARKETS FOR GREENER PRODUCT THROUGH THEIR PURCHASES.
   
• … EPA APPS LIKE “HOW’S MY WATERWAY,” “AIR NOW,” AND “SCHOOL IQ ASSESSMENT” AND TOOLS LIKE THE ADAPATION RESOURCE CENTER AND THE GREEN INFRASTURE WIZARD THAT UNLOCK THE POWER OF CITIZEN SCIENCE TO HELP US PROTECT MORE PEOPLE, USING PEOPLE POWER NOT MONEY.
   
• … TRANSPARENT, READILY ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION AND NEW MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES LIKE THE VILLAGE GREEN BENCH THAT DOUBLES AS AN AIR MONITOR OR CAMERAS THAT CAN LITERALLY SEE LEAKS FROM STORAGE TANKS THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE.

WE’VE DEEPENED OUR FOCUS ON THE VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND …

• …THROUGH OUR WORK WITH TRIBES TO RECOGNIZE TRIBAL TREATY RIGHTS…OR OUR WORK TO “MAKE A VISIBLE DIFFERENCE” THAT HAS ALREADY REACHED EVERY REGION OF THE COUNTRY…OR OUR WORK LOOKING AHEAD—SUCH AS OUR E.J. 2020 PLAN OR PLACE-BASED EFFORTS WHERE WE COLLABORATE WITH FEDERAL PARTNERS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITIES IN THEIR EFFORT TO BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE LIKE LOCAL FOOD, LOCAL PLACES. 

AND OF COURSE, WE’VE INCREASED OUR ATTENTION ON DRINKING WATER. LESSONS LEARNED IN FLINT ARE BEING SHARED ACROSS THE NATION SO WE CAN BETTER PREPARE TO FINISH THE JOB OF ADDRESSING LEGACY CONTAMINANTS, FACE NEW ONES AND FIX OUR AGING INFRASTRUCTURE... 

(EPA IS DEMOCRACY IN ACTION / CLOSING)

…DOING MORE, DOING BETTER…THAT’S OUR CONSTANT ASPIRATION. IT’S THE NATURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY…WE MAKE PROGRESS USING SCIENCE AND THE LAW, AND WE CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIVE TO CHANGE…NOT OPPOSE IT.

THAT’S HOW EPA WAS BORN, AND THAT’S HOW OUR MISSION WILL EXIST, FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF ELECTORAL CYCLES…

BECAUSE, AT ITS CORE, EPA EMBRACES THE AMERICAN IDEAL E PLURIBUS UNUM – OF MANY, COME ONE – BECAUSE POLLUTION AND HEALTH RISKS DO NOT DISCRIMINATE…AND WE, LIKE THIS NATION, WILL ALWAYS BE A PLACE WHERE WE DRAW STRENGTH FROM OUR DIFFERENCES. AND UNDER THIS PRESIDENT’S WATCH WE HAVE ENGAGED MORE AMERICANS THAN EVER IN THE WORK WE DO.

MILLIONS HAVE INFORMED OUR CLIMATE RULES, WITH THE VAST MAJORITY SIMPLY WANTING US TO PROTECT THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN’S FUTURE BY FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE AND THE LAW. 

MOTHERS OF EVERY COLOR HAVE BANDED TOGETHER TO ENSURE THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD AND LEADERS OF ALL FAITHS HAVE SPOKEN UP ON OUR MORAL OBLIGATION TO TAKE CLIMATE ACTION.

HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN VOICES HAVE BEEN SPEAKING UP TO REMIND US THAT THEY ARE OFTEN THE ONES MOST AT RISK IF WE FAIL TO ACT. 

BUSINESSES - BIG AND SMALL - ARE MAKING THE RISKS OF INACTION CLEAR—AND CALLING ATTENTION TO THE OPPORTUNITIES IN FRONT OF US TO BOOST OUR ECONOMY AND CREATE ENTIRE NEW SECTORS OF JOBS.

…AND EPA HAS LISTENED. 

I’M SO PROUD OF THE WORK WE’VE DONE TO REACH A MORE DIVERSE CONSTITUENCY…TO MAKE EPA MORE ACCESSIBLE…A PLACE WHERE MORE VOICES CAN HAVE A SAY…

…WHERE COMMUNITIES CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH – AND YES, BUSINESSES CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OPERATIONS – ARE WELCOMED INTO THE DISCUSSION TO WORK WITH US HAND IN HAND...

I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF ANXIETY THESE DAYS, BUT I AM VERY HOPEFUL FOR A FEW REASONS. WE HAVE DONE OUR JOB AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENTERPRISE IS MORE INCLUSIVE AND MORE EFFECTIVE THAN EVER. 

WE’VE ENERGIZED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WILL DEMAND NOT ONLY CLEAN AIR AND CLEAN WATER FOR THEIR CHILDREN, THEY WILL DEMAND A STABLE PLANET. 

WE’VE CREATED THE KIND OF RESONANCE THAT HAS MOTIVATED A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE…A FAMILIAR MOVEMENT THAT RESEMBLES TIMES PAST, WHEN MILLIONS OF VOICES—STANDING UP AND SPEAKING OUT—CHANGED OUR COUNTRY’S TRAJECTORY…

AND I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE IN 2016 A BILL PASSED ON A VOICE VOTE IN THE SENATE AND IN THE HOUSE WITH ONLY 12 NAY VOTES…AGAIN, NO…IT WASN’T NAMING OF A POST OFFICE…

IT WAS THE LAUTENBERG CHEMICAL SAFETY ACT—THE FIRST UPDATE TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL STATUTE IN 20 YEARS.

CONGRESS OVERWHELMINGLY CAME TOGETHER—THIS CONGRESS—TO GIVE THE EPA MORE AUTHORITY TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM DANGEROUS CHEMICALS. 

WHEN HE SIGNED THE BILL INTO LAW, PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID—QUOTE—“THIS IS PROOF THAT…HERE IN WASHINGTON, THINGS CAN WORK. IT’S POSSIBLE. WE CAN KEEP FAMILIES SAFE AND UNLEASH THE ENGINE OF AMERICAN INNOVATION. WE CAN PROTECT THE PLANET AND KEEP CREATING JOBS. IF WE CAN GET THIS BILL DONE, IT MEANS THAT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE ON THE HORIZON, WE CAN MAKE OUR POLITICS LESS TOXIC AS WELL.” 

I THINK PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS RIGHT-- ALTHOUGH WE MAY NOT BE QUITE THERE YET ON THE LAST POINT. 

WE CAN MAKE THINGS WORK IN WASHINGTON IF WE CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON THE JOB AT HAND…

FOR EPA, THAT’S, PROTECTING THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE WE’VE PLEDGED TO SERVE. 

I WANT TO END WITH THIS…TO THE UNSUNG HEROES I’VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH AT EPA – THE SCIENTISTS, THE ECONOMISTS, THE LAWYERS AND REGULATORS WHO’VE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE…

…AND TO THE OUTSIDE ADVOCATES, BUSINESSES, INNOVATORS AND INDUSTRY VISIONARIES – WE NEED YOU. WE WILL ALWAYS NEED YOU.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, I KNOW YOU PLACE SCIENCE AND SERVICE ABOVE PARTISANSHIP.

I’VE SEEN WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF – AND THAT’S WHY I’M SO CERTAIN THAT OUR FUTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE BRIGHTER, HEALTHIER, AND MORE JUST FOR ALL.
