The Global Teach-In on Sustainable Economics

[larry martin]

Hi, this is to inform you that DC has a location for the upcoming Global Teach-in on Sustainable Economics.  We'll be meeting at IPS on April 25th beginning at noon - here is the web address for the event:  http://www.globalteachin.com/

We've set up a registration site because our accommodations are limited to about 25 people.

Please register here so that we can keep track of seats and not end up over-extended.  If no tickets are available - sorry, we're sold out.

 

The most current schedule - still in development, is below.

We look forward to seeing you and working with you to explore strategies for the New Economy.

Attached is a 1-page summary of the Global Teach-In that you can forward to associates who you think may also be interested in participating.  Please also forward the registration site so that we can manage seating - registrations on the site will cut off at 25.

Thanks for your commitment to building the New Economy.

Larry Martin, Noel Ortega, & Linda Schade
