Donald Simon

Donald Simon, an attorney at the Oakland law firm of Wendel, Rosen, Black & Dean, provided his services as MC for the keynote sessions at West Coast Green. Full of energy and enthusiasm, Donald did a remarkable job of speaking articulately with no notes. He appeared to be ad-libbing, but must have thought quite a bit about what to say to introduce more than 10 notable speakers over the course of the three days. Possibly the only participant in a business suit, he nonetheless seemed entirely at ease on the stage and at home with the audiences full of green building champions.

Do lawyers have a role in this movement, beyond sealing real estate deals? Indeed, they do.
