Summer Greetings!
I know that August is busy as we all try and balance work with enjoying the beautiful weather and many events that seem to fill the summer months, but we hope you'll take a few minutes to read some of the great things packed into this month's e-newsletter.
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. Information & registration links below.
I hope you're enjoying your summer!
Kate Luczko, Interim Executive Director
