Professional Development Meeting

Green Sourcing Can Yield Big Savings

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Green sourcing can yield big savings, but often you will have to spend to save.  For example, retro-fitting light fixtures, using alternative energy fleet vehicles or switching to a shred and recycle document destruction program often requires additional expense to implement.  These expenses can be difficult to get approved, and even more so given the current economic climate.  Jim Kelly will discuss methods that will help you gain approval for funding from senior management even in a down economy.

Speakers: James V. Kelly
