I’m so glad you brought up the intense conversation at your table at the CSO event on January 8th at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I was meaning to hear more about learnings from the table discussions. I also thought the panelists shared uncommon wisdom on being a Chief Sustainability Officer, organizational considerations and opportunities. Since we at Hudson Gain Corporation are planning to host another panel in NYC later this year, any feedback is welcome.
Hi Victoria,
Thank you for your post. What is striking about the Hudson Gain assessment is the reflection that it engendered in the participants which accounts for the richness of the panel discussion and table breakout sessions. I invite you to post your comment on sustainableenterprise.com/ning.
