California-based Presidio Graduate School is expanding its executive five-month Certificate Program in Sustainable Management with an east coast offering. Please share this exciting program with colleagues in your network and company. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain sustainability credentials with two-day-per-month sessions in San Francisco or Boston. I am very impressed with Presidio's targeted, interactive program and encourage you to pass this information on to anyone who may be interested in gaining the tools to tackle a broad range of sustainability challenges.
There are two information sessions for those interested in learning more:
Wednesday, January 20 in Boston
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Holland & Knight Offices
10 St. James Avenue
Wednesday, January 26 in San Francisco
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
SPUR Urban Center
654 Mission Street
Modeled after Presidio Graduate School's MBA in sustainable management, the executive education program gives professionals a true competitive advantage. Participants will collaborate with experienced sustainability experts; acquire practical, targeted tools; and have the opportunity to create and apply a sustainability plan that leverages a lasting corporate culture shift.
For more information on Presidio's Executive Certificate Program, please email certificate@presidioedu.org or contact Carl Schneebeck at (415) 655-8956.
I'm honored to join an impressive group of sustainability leaders on the Advisory Council for this program. I look forward to seeing some of you at the Boston information session.
