Event Information
Description
Please join Social Enterprise Greenhouse on July 20, 2017 for Providence Green Drinks with the Rhode Island Association of Conservation Commissions at Ogie's!
Each month we highlight the work of organizations innovating in the environment sector, followed by discussion and networking over food and drink. This is a great opportunity to find out how you can get involved in a thriving community committed to creating jobs and making our RI communities more environmentally friendly!
The Rhode Island Association of Conservation Commissions is a coalition of the Conservation Commissions in Rhode Island. Our mission is to work with town councils, town planners and other environmental and land use boards, and organizations in each of the towns where a conservation commission exists. The Association helps municipal conservation commissions with educational and regulatory information and updates on everything from land use policy, recycling, solar farms, erosion control, development and more.
The Association promotes existing regulations with a healthy discourse for how they can be modified under climate change and political change environments.
On July 20, 2017 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, please join us for a very informal presentation on how the Association can offer help with city and town wide issues. Some free food complements a cash bar. This is a good opportunity to network with your fellow conservation commission officers, land trust and other environmental organizations. How do you deal with a solar farm? Come find out as we share thoughts and experiences from all over the US and elsewhere.
These monthly events are made possible in partnership with: Cleantech Open Northeast, EcoRI News, New England Clean Energy Council/Navigate, and Slater Technology Fund
