Chair: Ryan Benson, Connell Foley LLP

Mission: To provide a forum that addresses environmental and sustainability issues and helps businesses realize the commercial benefits of using environmental, energy and other resources responsibly.

What We Believe:

• Environmental and sustainability concerns are emerging as significant social and economic drivers for both global and local communities
• Our Energy Infrastructure is undergoing tremendous change. We need to define the interests of utilities, consumers and environmental groups and set aggressive goals to reduce global warming emissions and protect our environment.
• Energy Conservation is a crucial enabler for utilities and energy consumers and the Chamber can play a positive role in educating and supporting its members. Dramatic technology changes need to be understood by consumers and the chamber can be a strategic information source.
• Chamber member companies have expertise in managing energy consumption and implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy that should be shared with other members.
• We can help organizations become contributors to state goals on emissions reductions and more utilization of renewables. 

Want to Participate?  The Sustainability Forum is open to any member of the chamber and meets the fourth Thursday of every month, from 8am to 9am, in the Chamber conference room.  If you plan to attend a meeting, please register so we can save you a seat.
