Capt. Alex Stites, director of shore energy for the Navy, will serve as keynote speaker at the 2015 Green Truck Summit. Stites is replacing scheduled speaker Dennis McGinn. McGinn, the Navy’s assistant secretary for energy, installations and environment, will not be able to attend the March 3 event.
Held in conjunction with The Work Truck Show 2015, the Green Truck Summit focuses on the latest alternative fuel, advanced technology and regulatory trends. It is held March 3-4 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, IN. The Work Truck Show trade show floor is open March 4-6.
“The Green Truck Summit is designed to provide real-world answers from leaders in the work truck and energy fields,” said Doyle Sumrall, NTEA managing director. “Since these officials are deeply involved in creating the latest guidelines and regulations for our country, their Washington commitments come first. Fortunately, Capt. Stites is available to share his wealth of operational knowledge in place of Dennis McGinn.”
Stites manages the Navy’s fleet of non-tactical vehicles, which includes an array of work trucks, vans and cars. Prior to receiving his current appointment in McGinn’s Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations and Environment) in April last year, Stites held a variety of roles in the Navy.
