Also, check out our freshly-launched website for the Certificate in Corporate Sustainability (if you click on the "Institute" tab, you'll see some of the Instructors and Panelists we have on board thus far, along with tentative agendas for the three days!). And don't forget to Register for September's Webinar & Go On Tour! Both of these events are FREE to you as a member. Take advantage of these great benefits of your NHBSR membership.
