Greetings!
I hope you're enjoying a wonderful summer, so far!
Last month, we held a Board "Summit" to discuss plans for NHBSR in the next 12 months. At the end of the day, we kept coming back to the strength of the organization - our members! So, we want to provide more opportunities for you to meet, talk, connect and learn sustainability best practices from each other. To that goal, we will launch more regional events this fall: Go On Tours and new dynamic, discussion-based events. Watch for more details later this summer!
Virginia and I will also be making the member section of the website more useful to you. We want to better share your products and services with other members and visitors to our website! Member listings will include a brief description of your company/organization (75 words or less), your logo and a link to your website. If you would like to offer a member-to-member discount, we're happy to include that as well. So please send your description, logo and website to myself or Virginia. Thanks for your help!
