Moses Brown graduate Albie Dahlberg '87 started Project Get Ready Rhode Island to address what he believes is one of the greatest threats facing the U.S. — the overwhelming reliance on oil, particularly in transportation. Albie is founder and coordinator of Project Get Ready Rhode Island, with the goal of establishing R.I. as a leader in green transportation. Albie led the effort to bring more charging stations to Rhode Island and just completed a 50-station network this summer with Chargepoint and National Grid. A graduate of Georgetown and Boston College Law, Albie worked for Sen. John Chafee as Counsel on Clear Air issues to the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. He then joined the U.S. EPA and later served as Chief of Staff for R.I. Secretary of State Matt Brown. Today, Albie is director of state and community relations at Brown University.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
