Leadership Council: Shaping Austin's EcoMovement
Submitted by EcoBrandi on Wed, 08/12/2009 - 00:18
THEN to NOW
Austin EcoNetwork has been around for over six years but we have only recently become a website. In case you aren’t familiar, here's a very short history:
In 2003 I wrote a letter inviting dozens of environmental community leaders to a meeting to explore what we could do to collectively be more successful as sustainability advocates by communicating, cooperating, and collaborating more.
Approximately 45 of Austin’s leading nonprofit, government, business, and community leaders participated in that initial meeting held at Casa de Luz.
