MEETING PROFESSIONALS RESOLUTION TO ECOLOGICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES
While the grim effect of doing “Business as Usual” hits closers to home, a new sense of urgency is in the air to integrate GREEN practices as good business sense not just because it’s the right thing to do.
Kansas City, MO – April 1, 2008 -- The eco-friendly society has a new aficionado – and its spin on minimizing the negative impact on the environment is brilliant! On May 20th 2008, Meeting Professionals International’s Kansas City Chapter (www.kcmpi.org) will be recognizing the value in going “green” as they introduce new initiatives from meeting concepts to contracts to conclusions with opening remarks from former Kansas City Mayor, Kay Barnes.
Following the luncheon, attendees will hear and take part in a panel discussion with these five renowned experts on the vital importance of preserving the environment through green meeting practices. Attendees will be representative of all facets of the meeting industry from planners and suppliers to CVB members and employees, as well as other “green friendly” organizations in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
