Sustainable Business Conference

Can Mainers achieve Local Prosperity in a Global Economy? That's the question and the theme of MEBSR's 15th Annual Sustainable Business Conference, to be held Friday, May 16th, 2008.

We have two top-notch keynotes for the conference: Governor Angus King and Peter Vigue, chairman, president and CEO of Cianbro.

In addition to the two keynotes, attendees can chose from the following workshops:

• Why Are Big Businesses Going Green…and Why Do Some of Them Mean It?
• Small Footprint, Big Profit: Lessons Learned
• Worksite Health Challenge: Ready, Set, Go!
• Local Ownership: Building Business That Stays

• Going Green: Useful Tools for Maine Business Success
• Hands-On Footprinting: Guided Self-Audits & Calculators
• Worksite Health Challenge: Ready, Set, Go! (repeat of morning session)

The conference will be held at the beautiful (and very green) Abromson Center at USM.
