The Sustainable Enterprise Coalition will be holding its fourth annual Sustainable Enterprise Conference on Friday, May 8 at the Sonoma Mountain Village in Rohnert Park.
The day-long learning and networking conference is dedicated to helping North Bay businesses and organizations transition to economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
Sonoma State University business faculty created the idea of the conference several years ago and the University continues to support the event.
Participants at this exciting conference will learn how to drive the changes that will position them for success in the new economy.
Attendees will also recognize opportunities to network with other North Bay business professionals who have benefited from positive change in the areas of social, economic, and environmental responsibility.
This year's Keynote Speaker will be California State Assemblyman, Jared Huffman, who has introduced significant legislation to protect public health and the environment and promote green power.
Huffman will present an overview of new local, state and federal policies designed to promote sustainable business practices at the community level.
Later in the day, facilitated case study discussions will feature leaders who have experienced both the challenges and opportunities of embracing a high level of sustainability in the workplace.
Workshops include Understanding Compliance Funding and Financing in the New Green Economy, Saving Green by Going Green, and Back to the Roots:Energy, Water and Land Management.
Workshops and informal breakouts will offer access to program experts ready to discuss the practical applications of sustainability strategies for organizations.
