An Event Honoring Arun Majumdar

This previous week I got to attend a Council event, as the Council photographer, at Capitol Hill. This event was honoring Arun Majumdar. Majumdar is the man who has been dubbed America’s “Green Czar.” He was Barack Obama’s president nominee for Under the Secretary of Energy. Although he is no longer at the position the events was intended to serve as a thank you for all that he has done for American energy policies. The current Secretary of Energy, Dr. Steven Chu, spoke at the event along with the President & CEO of the Council on Competitiveness to personally thank him, as a close friend and a colleague for all that he has done. I found this event to be extremely interesting because in this large room, which was filled with people who all have made large contributions in their own way to American public policy. Yet, they all were gathered to thank Arun and his wife for the time they dedicated to public service. I was honored to have been able to attend the event and proud to be a part of the Council.
