Environments for Aging Conference
March 21-23
San Diego
The time for talk is over. Green design should be a goal for everyone to leave a greener footprint for future generations, starting today. That's what our Walk the Walk campaign is all about.
Green Meeting
Tip
Work with the catering department to select menus containing seasonal fruits and vegetables available from local farmers. Even if it means securing menus closer to the event, this will provide your attendees with the freshest locally produced food. Offering a seasonal vegetarian entree will also save costs.
