Join us for a special Eco-Hour for members and those considering membership in NBIS.
What’s different? This month’s Eco-Hour is planned especially for NBIS members (and those interested in becoming members). The NBIS Board wants to hear about your experiences being part of the NBIS network. This is an opportunity for you to give us feedback on the services and community we provide to our members and to propose ideas for new features you’d like to see! We will also be introducing the strategic work our board has been doing to plan NBIS’ mission and programs for the next decade!
What’s the same? As always, you can expect great food donated by PCC Natural Markets, and our new beer sponsor – Schooner Exact! You’ll find great people to connect
and converse with, and have the chance to further your learning about sustainable and profitable business practices.
We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday!
Register today! Not a member? Join here, then register for the event. Want to learn more about membership? Please contact us for details.
