Accelerate Sustainability Workshop

Our Accelerate Sustainability Workshop is a professional development opportunity designed to help you start sustainability initiatives at your organization whether you’re brand new to the subject or well versed. Grounded in current sustainability plans and research, this workshop presents best practices, local case studies, primers on sustainability topics, and changemaking strategies. You will leave with a clear action plan for your projects to make change at your organization.
