Everyone was taking a little time Sunday night to socialize and relax before the real work begins this week, including the chairman and the CEO of the National Biodiesel Board. Pictured here are National Biodiesel Board Chairman Ed Hegland of Minnesota and his wife Dawn with NBB CEO Joe Jobe and his wife Lisa.
I did a very brief interview with Joe to preview the conference this week. He says the economic situation is affecting the biodiesel industry as much as any other industry right now, but they remain optimistic. Overall, Jobe is pleased with the turn out for the conference this week and he is excited about the agenda which features a good combination of “artists, activists, scientists and substantive speakers.”
