Join us for the next Green Business Networking event Monday, March 24th. It will run from 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm on the second floor of the Tate Center (enter through the Beatty Center, 5 Liberty Street). This event will feature a slightly different format. In one room we will have the Executive Directors of: The Navy Yard at Noisette, The Sustainability Institute and The Michaux Conservancy in attendance. Each will speak for 10-15 minutes about their organizations, which we'll follow with an interactive discussion on the implications for green business in the Lowcountry. In the main gallery we will have our usual informal networking along with the food and beverages.
Our hope 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. 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 bring them with you.
Volunteers: we’re looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down at these monthly events - only about 10-15 minutes worth of work. If you’re interested, please contact me at hansend [at] cofc.edu.
Green Drinks chapters exist in over 540 cities around the globe. Our Charleston chapter brings together those people who are both living, learning, and practicing the principles of sustainability and those seeking to find out more. The setting is low-key, the crowd changes each month, and talking points are often suggested by our members. We also organize the Poplar Grove Pedal Tour, Charleston Carrotmob, an upcoming waterless car wash at Fuel, Going Green for the Girls, and other events throughout the year.
We represent entrepreneurs and students, architects and educators, athletes, moms, retailers, financiers, fishermen, attorneys, personal chefs, pilots, and writers...and everything in between. As you can see, many of our guests also contribute on this blog - in addition to other findings from the internet that are posted here.
So, come join us...meet colleagues, have a bite to eat, collaborate on a project, or just enjoy a conversation with others who wish to further a greener Charleston. It is our pleasure to have you involved! If you have something to share, are interested in sponsoring, or would like more information please contact us.
