Environmental NPO Panel Discussion @ Sierra Commons

Posted by Matt | Tuesday, 9 Mar 2010 | No Comments »

On Thursday, at 6pm, Sierra Commons will host several nonprofit leaders as part of panel discussion on the environment, NPOs, and local business. Speakers will include Heidi Hall (SYRCL), Izzy Martin (The Sierra Fund), and Peter Van Zant (Sierra Watch).

Part of the discussion will naturally focus on environmental preservation, conservation, and restoration. The discussion will focus mainly, however, on issues common not just to environmental nonprofits, but also to nonprofits and businesses in general. Each of these organizations, after all, is adept at creating and mobilizing public interest, building coalitions, and campaigning to build advocacy and support. These are techniques that are essential not just to the success of nonprofits but to businesses as well. (more…)
