A Message from the ODUSD (I&E) Conference Liaison
America’s security depends upon defense installation assets and services that are
available when and where needed, and with the right capabilities to support current
and future mission equirements. As the guardians of the defense installations
portfolio, the Installations & Environment mission is to provide installation
assets and services necessary to support our military forces in a cost effective, safe,
sustainable, and environmentally sound manner.
As the largest Federal consumer of energy, the Department of Defense must be the
leader in energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of renewable energy and
emerging technology. The Department must make greater strides in energy efficiency
and consumption reduction in order to meet the Departmental vision of providing
reliable and cost effective utility services to the Warfighter. 2008 JSEM focuses on
the growing complexity and integration of today’s environment and energy programs
as we strive to meet these challenges.
JSEM 2008 will highlight the many new and innovative ways the Department of
Defense, other Federal agencies, states, the defense industry, and our partners are
transforming to meet today’s environmental and energy challenges to continually reshape
and re-size our installations framework to align with operational requirements.
We intend for JSEM 2008 to address a wide range of perspectives, including policy,
implementation, Best Management Practices, data management, and technology.
This Conference continues to be the most significant event for environmental policy
makers, practitioners and professionals. We enthusiastically look forward to your
participation.

A Message from the NDIA Environment & Energy Division Chairman
As our Environment & Energy Division enters a new era of environmental and energy advocacy to meet the rapidly changing United States global military posture, JSEM 2008 promises to reach new heights in featuring distinguished government and industry speakers and panelists addressing the critical and close relationship between Environmental Protection and Enhancement and the search for new and renewable Energy resources. Both of these sensitive arenas contain major issues impacting national security and readiness. This year’s NDIA event will again serve as the Industry’s voice to promote dialogue and cooperation with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and various other Departments and Agencies within DoD, and other Government Agencies. As in the past, the objectives of JSEM 2008 are to present a platform for Government and Industry to discuss the increasingly important issue of sustaining defense readiness while preserving our cherished environment.
Recognizing that energy is a great facilitator of the global economy and drives America’s economic and national security, JSEM 2008 seeks energy-related topics woven into the plenary sessions, as well as into the Technical Sessions. Consequently, I respectfully urge a vigorous response in this area to this Call for Papers from industry, government, and academia.

NDIA Environmental Committee Chair
We are looking forward to a great meeting in Denver, but your participation is needed to make JSEM 2008 great!
JSEM is about improving environmental management throughout DoD and the Services. This year we are taking a different approach to the plenary sessions that will provide an opportunity for the Services to emphasize their Executive Agent leadership, coupled with the OSD lead plenary sessions, so that attendees will get policy updates, technical training, and the opportunity to interact with Service peers and leaders.
As you think about topics for technical session presentation, please make the effort to fit them into the general tracks that are laid out in this Call for Papers. The JSEM planning committee has made an effort to tailor the tracks based on comments from JSEM 2007.
For industry members, 2008 will be another year of transformation for DoD, the Services, and those that support the various environmental programs. JSEM 2008 will be the place to learn what is happening, hear the latest policy and budget changes, begin planning for a new administration in 2009, and interact with your friends and future customers.
NDIA staff are working with the Colorado Convention Center staff to “Green” the conference facility and we encourage each of you to look for ways to “Green” your exhibits and support the efforts to reduce our cumulative impact. Thank you for your support of JSEM 2008 and if you would like to help the committee, please contact NDIA.
