This is a great forum and a excellent networking opportunity for
anyone interested in sustainable business. The event is sold out BUT

for UH students – and also offered a discounted registration price of
$15 (regular price is $40).

Please contact me at mic...@hawaii.edu before Wednesday noon to
register at the reduced student rate. Details below.
