Greetings!        

 

Can you believe it's already August?!  Before you know it, our summer will be only a fond memory.

 

We have a full calendar for you this fall with many opportunities to connect with your peers in sustainability and CSR!  Go On Tours at sustainability leaders, webinars, a quarterly member social and our newest offering ...

 

NHBSR announces Sustainability Roundtables - with a regional focus!    This fall's Roundtables will be held in the Monadnock, Upper Valley and Merrimack Valley/Seacoast regions.  

 

The idea behind these roundtables is to give you a voice to share, question and gain inspiration to expand your efforts and build networks to support your efforts.  The roundtables will bring together businesses, community members and organizations to discuss the challenges and opportunities around a sustainability topic.  Find out more and register - visit our Roundtable webpage.
