Last Thursday, we were able to work with a couple of our Northwest partners on the same evening as we hosted the monthly NBIS EcoHour at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute’s downtown Seattle campus. Towards the end of the evening, it was clear that many in the room had affiliations with both organizations and a great discussion was had by all. NBIS is our newest partner and we look forward to many more successful events with them throughout 2010 and beyond.
NBIS convenes a diverse membership that spans industries and supports and highlights innovative companies and best practices. NBIS members are passionate, dedicated people with much talent to be shared. By providing a hub for this talent and opportunities for people to meet for social and professional networking, they create valuable links between companies and the technical assistance and expertise provided by our members. Members include academic institutions, government agencies and the collaborative resources of individuals and businesses charting the path to sustainability. For more information: www.nbis.org
If you stop by the BetterBlog every so often then you probably have read many of our joint efforts with BGI, including the BetterWork study we conducted with a team of MBA candidates from BGI in 2009.
BGI has pioneered a graduate curriculum for sustainable business education that infuses social and environmental responsibility into every course – not just electives but all required courses as well. They train students with the leading sustainability case studies, best practices, models, and business management tools. With this knowledge graduates will be well equipped to successfully lead a large corporation, small business or non-profit organization toward sustainability as a core strategy, or launch their own sustainable entrepreneurial ventures.
