Naperville Chamber – Green Leadership Council

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:35:09 +0000

I attended the kick-off meeting for the Green Leadership Council at the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce this morning. There was a wide range of organizations represented including local businesses, the park district, school district and nonprofits. Naperville Chamber CEO John Schmitt, Naperville Mayor George Pradel and Councilmen Bob Fiesler and Grant Wehrli were also in attendance.

In addition to general planning, the group was addressed by Kay McKeen, Executive Director of SCARCE, a Dupage County funded nonprofit organization dedicated to education and local efforts towards conservation an sustainability.

The general mission of the Green Leadership Council seems clear, but it will be interesting to see what they do in practice. A Green Business Expo is in the planning stages.
