Join us next week for this fall's first Green Business Networking event. We will meet Sep 10th from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm on the second floor of the Tate Center (enter through the Beatty Center, 5 Liberty Street). Our hope for the monthly event is to bring together a variety of knowledge, skills, motivation, and expertise to share ideas about helping businesses be more environmentally-friendly, starting new sustainable businesses, finding employees/employment and generating general networking contacts here in Charleston and the Lowcountry. Come out and meet like-minded representatives from local businesses and organizations plus CofC students, alumni, staff and faculty. If you know anyone that might be interested, please feel free to pass this along to them, or just bring them with you. Also, join us on LinkedIn, http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1786534. The group (Charleston Green Business Network, with a brand new logo designed by David Hill of the Verdi Company) was set up to allow the networking to continue virtually in between our monthly events. So be sure to join the group and share what you are doing, ask questions about green business or share interesting news articles.
Come out and meet like-minded representatives from local businesses and organizations plus CofC students, alumni, staff and faculty and add your thoughts for improving business. If you know anyone that might be interested, please feel free to pass this along to them, or just bring them with you.
As this event continues to grow, we’d appreciate an RSVP so that we can have a reasonable estimate of attendees and print out name tags ahead of time. Send RSVPs to David Hansen (hansend@cofc.edu).
If you represent a green building organization and would like to speak, please contact David Hansen (hansend@cofc.edu). By the way, if you haven't heard about the new SC Green Building Directory, check it out at: http://www.scgreenbuildingdirectory.org/. Our hope for the monthly event is to bring together a variety of knowledge, skills, motivation, and expertise to share ideas about helping businesses be more environmentally-friendly, starting new sustainable businesses, finding employees/employment and generating general networking contacts here in Charleston and the Lowcountry. The theme of the event will change monthly and will take place throughout the College of Charleston school year. So come out and meet like-minded representatives from local businesses and organizations plus CofC students, alumni, staff and faculty. If you know anyone that might be interested, please feel free to pass this along to them, or just bring them with you.
Also, take a minute to check out the blog that I've started http://charlestongreenbiz.blogspot.com. My intention is for it to be a place for discussing green business outside of the monthly events. Every day or so I'll post either some useful information or a topic for discussion. I encourage everyone to weigh in on the issues, make suggestions, tell us what you're doing, recommend businesses/products, etc. Note to students: unfortunately since there will be adult beverages, we must restrict the event to 21 and over. If you’re under 21 and still interested, please contact me. If there is enough interest we’ll look for some alternative arrangements. Volunteers: we’re looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down at these monthly events. If you’re interested, please contact me at hansend@cofc.edu. |
