Green Business Networking Event, December 12th 4:30 - 6:30 |

Join us this Friday for this fall’s second Green Business Networking event. We will meet from 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm on the second floor of the Tate Center (enter through the Beatty Center, 5 Liberty Street). For this event we're going to try something a little different. While we're networking I'll have brainstorming sheets available around the Tate Center for collecting ideas on how businesses can be more green. This of course fits with our hope for the monthly event 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. With the wide range of people that attend, we should be able to come up with a ton of ideas. 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. 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/.

The theme of the event will change monthly and will take place throughout the College of Charleston school year.

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. As this event continues to grow, we’d appreciate an RSVP so that we can have a reasonable estimate of attendees – we don’t want to run out of the refreshments that will be available. Send RSVP to: hansend@cofc.edu. 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. |
