Keynote Speaker
Barth
Randolph
The Keynote speaker will be Liane M. Randolph, Chair of the California Air Resources Board. The Keynote session, moderated by Matt Barth from the University of California, Riverside, will feature our speaker’s expertise on air quality public policy and valuable perspective working at a state agency. This session will set the stage for an impactful symposium and catalyze working across disciplines to make a positive global impact.
Plenary Speakers
Protecting Community Air Quality and Health
Chavez
Martien
Ghosh
Hughes
Ambrose
Plenary speakers will include Jo Kay Ghosh from the South Coast Air Quality Management District, Philip Martien from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Chris Chavez from the Coalition for Clean Air, and Hanjiro Ambrose from the California Air Resources Board.
This plenary session, to be moderated by Vernon Hughes from the California Air Resources Board, will shed light on the important topic of “Protecting Community Air Quality and Health”. While air quality management has traditionally been performed at the state or regional scale, many air quality issues and impacts are local and vary greatly. In this plenary session, the panel will discuss ongoing efforts in California to address air quality concerns at the community level. These efforts are focused on reducing exposure to localized air pollution and the associated health impacts in disadvantaged communities throughout the state.

The plenary session, facilitated by Joe Zietsman from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, is centered on “Building Back Better – New Directions for Transportation and Health after the Global Pandemic”. Presentations will provide valuable insight and ignite discussion on current and future trends in transportation emissions, energy, air quality, and health after the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption.
