Subject: Re: [HESCO] Press Release

My brilliant university relations person took a look at this for me and
had an idea. What if we ran this as a memo to potential member
institutions and saved the press release for "HESCO proudly welcomes the
following new members"? Any thoughts?

Here is the edited press release, hopefully this is along the lines of
what you guys envisioned the press release to be, please speak up to any
changes or concerns. Also need input on when we want to press release

Higher Education Sustainability Consortium of Oklahoma seeks members 

OKLAHOMA CITY - The Higher Education Sustainability Consortium of
Oklahoma (HESCO) invites institutions of higher education in Oklahoma to
join the discussion and work collaboratively toward the common goal of
environmental sustainability. HESCO facilitates the free exchange of
information, ideas, and experience. 

HESCO envisions a participatory alliance in which all institutions of
higher education use their expertise and resources to make Oklahoma more
sustainable.  The consortium operates by working collaboratively and
celebrating the diversity of expertise among institutions.  Consortium
members tailor programs and policies to meet the individual needs of
each campus in accordance with location, student body, faculty, and
mission. HESCO plans to showcase innovation and best practices among
institutions for the advancement of all.

The Oklahoma State Facilities Energy Conservation Program, created
earlier this year by Governor Mary Fallin, directs all state agencies
and higher education institutions to cut their energy costs by at least
20 percent by the year 2020. This is one of many objectives the
consortium seeks to address.

"HESCO has quickly become my favorite place for innovation and
collaboration with my peers. I believe that this group will take on a
leadership role in moving campus sustainability forward," said Tim
Tillman, HESCO spokesman and University of Central Oklahoma
Sustainability Coordinator.

HESCO was founded by the mutual consensus of the following institutions
that have shown a commitment to sustainable growth and the advancement
of each of their campuses: University of Central Oklahoma (UCO),
Oklahoma State University - Oklahoma City (OSU-OKC), Oklahoma State
University (OSU), Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC), Oklahoma City
University (OCU), Oklahoma Christian University (OC), Southern Nazarene
University (SNU), Metro Technology Centers, and Francis Tuttle
Technology Center.
