Central New York has so many motivated and passionate citizens who are working with scores of local like-minded organizations on a host of issues that will move us toward a more socially responsible, economically viable and environmentally sustainable future. GreeningUSA has had the privilege of collaborating with many of those organizations and will continue to do so because we believe that we are STRONGER TOGETHER! We continue to make this the focus of our annual meetings because one of our primary goals is to support and promote the activities of those great organizations.
At this year’s “Virtual Big Tent” annual meeting, organizations are invited to briefly share:
- The primary mission and activities of their organization.
- How we can help as a community of advocates.
We hope you agree that collaboration is vital and accept our challenge to participate on May 7. We believe that by tearing down silos which isolate, and replacing them with a network that connects, we can achieve far more.
