What can the Sustainable Business Network do for Your Business?

By becoming a member of SBNRI, you will expand your business networks, gain access to low-cost professional development workshops, obtain support to help your business become “green” and sustainable, and be offered a variety of marketing opportunities to promote your products and services to an expanding audience of consumers who want to buy from and support sustainable businesses.

In addition, members enjoy the following benefits:

• eNewsletter: A bimonthly e-newsletter of premium information about the latest ideas, resources, and case studies from the front lines of the field, featuring updates on the latest industry innovations, guest essays, and occasional podcasts.
• Speaker Bureau: SBNRI’s speakers’ bureau and a Who’s Who of sustainable economy presenters will inspire, provoke, and incite any audience.
• SBNRI Guides: “How-To” guides for sustainable business practices, focusing on specific business sectors, that provide easy-to-use advice and case studies for members who want to grow their business and reduce their impact on the environment.
• Think Local First: A shift of just 10% of your purchases toward local retailers means more people in your community are getting a paycheck, paying their rent, and purchasing products and services from other local businesses.
• SBNRI Roundtables: Lively monthly discussions featuring guest experts who will cover specific subjects of interest to network members at both the regional and national levels. Roundtables are held the second Tuesday of each month and are open to members of SBNRI networks.
• Conference: Our annual conference will bring together hundreds of business owners, entrepreneurs, economic development professionals, and network and community leaders as we chart the next phase in the expansion and success of sustainable local economies.
