Business Workshops

We produce business workshops throughout the year on various topics to promote local business development. Past topics have included: triple bottom line, marketing, and customer service. This year look forward to such topics as: alternative funding and access to capital, maker culture, working with the green film-making industry, business coaching, social networking, trash for treasures, and free professional consulting sessions.

Our 2010 workshop series has concluded, but we are hosting a BALLE Regional Network Gathering and Training Workshop. Look for the 2011 workshop schedule soon.

Business Networking Events

Green Drinks is a grassroots phenomenon occurring in more that 739  cities worldwide where sustainability minded folks get together to mingle and have a drink. Our mission is to create community among environmentally minded people, establish a forum for learning about developing green topics and to inspire each other to live as lightly on the planet as possible. www.greendrinks.org.
