Location
Great Lakes Brewing Company, Tasting Room
2701 Carroll Ave.
Cleveland, OH Are there sustainability business solutions that will end poverty?
Sustainable business practices are creating opportunities to save money, start new businesses, create new jobs and design for the future. How do these practices impact those living in poverty in the region? How might we take what we know about sustainability - whole-systems thinking, radical resource productivity, cradle to cradle design, marketing to the bottom of the pyramid, etc. - and put it to work to reduce or even eradicate poverty?
Panel will include:
Bill Doty, Principal, Doty Miller & Architects
Gus Kious MD, President, Huron Hospital
Jim Rokakis, County Treasurer, Cuyahoga County
Mary Ann Stropkay, President, Shorebank Enterprise Cleveland
Others to be announced...
