Conference | April 2-3 | Working Collaboratively for Sustainability | Seattle University

That is the theme behind a two-day conference hosted by Seattle University’s Albers School of Business and Economics.

The two day conference will explore how cross-organizational projects promoting sustainability also support economic development, reach out to marginalized populations and engage the average person.

Speakers include:

• Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels
• Brenda Metropolit, Director of Sustainability Initiatives for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics
• Auden Schendler, Aspen Skiing Co.
• Tom Crompton, World Wildlife Foundation-UK
