YOU ARE INVITED TO THE ROBIN HOOD GALA
ROBIN HOOD
BENEFIT GALA
Housing the Homeless in Los Angeles
The Robin Hood Benefit Gala is the official gala of the Net Zero Conference and Los
Angeles’s premier event to house the homeless. Produced by Verdical Group and benefiting
LA homeless housing provider The Skid Row Housing Trust, the Gala will be hosted at the
exclusive Jonathan Club in Downtown Los Angeles. Join us for an unforgettable evening
and make a positive impact in LA!
There are over 52,000 people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County and we
can make an impact. The Robin Hood Benefit Gala supports the Skid Row Housing Trust,
a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is committed to breaking the cycle of
homelessness for its residents.
The Trust provides permanent supportive housing and on-site supportive services to nearly
2,000 individuals who have experienced homelessness, prolonged extreme poverty, poor
health, disabilities, mental illness, and/or addiction can lead safe, stable lives in wellness.
Etiquette & Dress Code – Formal Attire
The Jonathan Club asks all attendees to comply with their etiquette and attire standards.
Formal attire is required for entrance into the venue. Please do not wear shorts, jeans, hats/
caps, or open-toed shoes. Cell phone usage is strictly limited in the event space as well.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
JASON F MCLENNAN
Considered one of the world’s most influential individuals in the field of
architecture and green building movement today, Jason is a highly sought out
designer, consultant and thought leader around the planet. He is the recipient of
the prestigious Buckminster Fuller Prize, has been called the ‘Steve Jobs’ of the
green building industry, a “World Changer” by GreenBiz magazine and has been
selected as the Award of Excellence winner for Engineering News Record- one
of the only individuals in the architecture profession to have won the award in its
52-year history.
McLennan is the creator of the Living Building Challenge, as well as a primary
author of the WELL Building Standard. He is the author of six books on
Sustainability and Design – including the Philosophy of Sustainable Design, which
is considered the ‘bible’ for green building’ – and is both an Ashoka Fellow and
Senior Fellow of the Design Future’s Council. He serves as the Chairman of the
International Living Future Institute and is the CEO of McLennan Design.
SENATOR KEVIN DE LEÓN
Senator de León is the son of a single immigrant mother and was the first
in his family to graduate from high school and college. With his leadership and
landmark legislation, Senator de León has established California’s reputation as
a recognized global leader in the battle against climate change and a pioneer in
creating a clean energy economy.
He played a central role in crafting a bipartisan deal this year to extend California’s
cap-and-trade program with $1 billion of the generated revenue to tackle diesel
pollution and bolster electrification of our transportation and vehicles. Senator
de León was elected by his colleagues to lead the Senate in 2014, making him the
first Latino to hold that position in over a century.
Under his leadership, California has added over 20,000 additional slots for
California students in the UC and the CSU. Both budgets during his tenure have
been delivered on time, provided protective reserves, paid down debt, provided
relief funding for the drought, and wisely invested in children and working families.
MAHESH RAMANUJAM
Mahesh Ramanujam is proving that building a more sustainable world is no
longer a dream, but a global evolution. As president and CEO of the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC) and Green Business Certification, Inc. (GBCI), he leads
a community of 13 million people that’s growing every day.
Before becoming President and CEO of USGBC, Ramanujam served as both
the organization’s COO and CIO. Prior to joining GBCI in 2009, he was COO of
Emergys Corp., and for more than a decade, he successfully led various business
transformation programs at IBM and Lenovo.
Transformative thought programs, partnerships, and initiatives continue to be at
the heart of Ramanujam’s work today. He envisions a world where construction
is as much about compassion as it is about the convenience and efficiency of the
structures themselves. Most importantly, behind every strategy, he emphasizes our
universal responsibility to prioritize health and wellness, to make a commitment
to the longevity of our planet, and to create a better quality of life for ourselves
and future generations.

Eco-Water Districts: A Possible Sustainable Water Future for Southern California Theater
By 2050, the population in California is expected to rise to 50 million people while our rainfall is
projected to decrease by 10-15% due to climate change. A new model for urban water use must be
considered: Eco Water Districts. An Eco Water District would be completely water independent –
effectively taking the community off the water grid. Because of Southern California’s penchant for
developing purely aesthetic manmade lakes in the late 20th Century, these lakes are prime candidates
for Eco Districts. New waste water treatment methods allow urban watersheds to become localized.
