Join the Association of Climate Change Officers for a free webinar on External Relations: Developing Strategies for Engaging Industry, Academia, NGOs and Government Entities

Speakers:

• Steve Nicholas – Vice President of Climate & Environmental Programs, Institute for Sustainable Communities (Former Director of the Office of Sustainability, City of Seattle) * public power city

Industry, Academia, NGOs and Government Entities are increasingly realizing the importance and value in partnering with one another to address a broad spectrum of issues related to climate change. These partnerships, whether focused on developing clean energy or energy efficiency measures, addressing water consumption, reducing GHG emissions, or adaptation to climate change impacts, can achieve significant results and improve the organization’s bottom line results.

On March 23, 2010, ACCO and BNA invite you to a discussion on partnerships between organizations across sectors featuring insights from an expert panel that includes a former California Secretary of Environmental Protection, a former Director of Sustainability for the City of Seattle and case studies from Waste Management and the Home Depot Foundation. Panelists will discuss:

• Key drivers behind partnerships
• Best practices in designing programs (along with implementation and establishing benchmarking)
• Specific examples/case studies of partnerships
• Opportunities for future collaborations
