Why Should You Attend?
Even if your organization does NOT have environmental issues as part of your mission, you'll learn valuable information at NAMC's Environmental Trends workshop. Read these comments:
"Sun Street Centers has proudly partnered with The Offset Project for many years providing volunteers for zero-waste events such as The Big Sur Marathon, AT&T Pro-Am and the Concorso Italiano" said David Scotton, Volunteer Coordinator.
" Our men worked hard and gained valuable teamwork skills in the process of helping our environment . Plus, the money we gain redeeming CRV is used for detox meds for indigent clients."
Future partnerships with TOP will include solar panel projects to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Says Anna Foglia, CEO: "I cannot wait to learn about the solar panel project! I think it is going to save us thousands of dollars over time."
