Denver Professional Net Impact is a volunteer-led chapter, with three leaders helming the ship.  Our parent organization, Net Impact, is headquartered in San Francisco and provides guidance and structure to the various university and professional chapters located around the world.  Each chapter is given autonomy to determine their own direction and we in particular look to our surrounding community in Denver and the Front Range to inform the subjects we tackle.  That said, our mission is to "cultivate a community of professionals dedicated to using business as a platform for creating positive social, environmental, and financial impact". Sustainability in particular is close to our hearts, so we tend to focus on the subject as a whole when figuring out what our next event will be!  We're a pretty informal group right now but we're starting to gain traction and provide value to our members. 

Overcoming affordability/effort challenges - there are many stories out there of the money required to eat sustainable food (Whole Paycheck, anyone?) as well as the time it takes to research and prepare that food.  Since so many people value cheap convenience, those challenges are tough to break down.
