Starting with his own Chattanooga, David Crockett’s life mission is to create economically and environmentally sustainable 21st century communities.He believes the time is ripe for innovative alliances across and among citistate regions. He founded and heads the Chattanooga Institute for Sustainability, focused on training government officials, educators and business leaders to embrace and apply the principles of sustainable communities.
In his business career, Crockett is also the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Advanced Process Designs, a technology company whose software products are designed for digital image/fixed-content archival, storage and management for the largest commercial and government customers. Crockett spent several years in Chattanooga city government, rising to be chairman of the City Council. He became a leading advocate for linking social, environmental, economic and equity issues together in a single strategy for Chattanooga to be a national and international leader in building sustainable regions. Holding civic office, however, was the second stage of Crockett’s career. He previously spent 20 years as an IBM marketing executive. Crockett served on numerous advisory boards including task forces of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development and The National Advisory Council of Environmental Policy and Technology, The Climate Institute, the President’s Economic Roundtable, the Asian Pacific Economic Collaborative, the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology, the “Challenger” Center for Space Education, Heinz Endowments and many others.
