Welcome to the CoreNet Global Sustainability Community. We are delighted that you are interested in participating in this group as we exchange knowledge and promote sustainability in the corporate real estate world. The leadership team for North America is in place and is already working on projects for 2010. We are also gathering representatives in EMEA, AZN, and SA, and look forward to working with them to develop content that meets their needs.
We hope that you will engage with this group actively by participating on the various committees which are in place, by recruiting members from your chapters and businesses, and by helping to develop knowledge that we can share across the globe. The Sustainability Community is working with the CoreNet Global Learning team to create more educational opportunities rooted in sustainability. We are also looking to increase our presence in the spring Summits in Singapore and New Orleans by providing material for breakout sessions. Currently the Mid-Atlantic chapter is working on a green leasing project at the request of the Clinton Climate Initiative.
These are just a few of the programs we have in the works - where will you jump in? Commit to being a chapter liaison, to helping to manage our NetWORK, to proposing ideas for Summit presentations, to involving yourself in our research projects . . . The opportunities to interact with the leaders of corporate sustainability worldwide are endless. Feel free to contact Laverne Deckert (404) 589-2345 with CoreNet Global for more information.
We look forward to advancing sustainability in corporate real estate with you!
