There are a number of initiatives underway and news articles and Conferences are taking place frequently with a focus strictly on Sustainability.  Sustainability itself touches any number of areas within an organization.  Our Guest Speaker, Laura Rourke will be sharing some of her expertise and experiences relating to this issue and we also look forward to roundtable peer discussion on our topic in general:

* What is Sustainability?
* Why is Sustainability important to manufacturers today?
* What do we mean by "Your Green Footprint"?
* What elements or measurments might you put in place to improve or begin a program of this nature?
* What are your waste management or recycling challenges and the solutions or best practices you have generated?
