Joint Meeting Of Sustainability Focused Groups

The Energy Coalition For A Sustainable Fox Valley (ECOS-FV) "is a coalition of non-profit organizations, businesses, governments and citizens that plans with and advocates for the Fox Valley region, for a future that is locally self-reliant and that sustains the regional and global environment." From the Coalition's latest blog post, announcing a Nov. 6 joint meeting of sustainability focused groups in the Valley:

Invitations have been extended to 14 sustainability groups and their membership located from Green Bay to Fond Du Lac, including Formal City Boards, as well as Professional and Citizen Centered Groups.

This Meeting is free and open to the public

Co-hosts: UW-Fox Valley and ECOS-FV
Where: UW-Fox Valley, room 1346
When: November 6th, 2008
Time: 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Purpose of Meeting

As organizations focused on sustainability here in the Valley, this joint gathering is being held to help us to better understand the goals of each organization and determine where we can work together in mutual benefit! For the public at large, this meeting is an opportunity to learn more about the activities of the broad movement that exists here in the Fox Valley.

Each organization will provide a 5 minute introduction of their group's sustainability mission, membership, meeting location, as well as their current and projected activities.

The rest of the meeting will be used for a guided general discussion about opportunities and questions that the assembled group may develop from what they hear and see.

This meeting is being held in lieu of our normal November ECOS meeting at the Menasha Public Library!

We hope to see you there! Please feel free to contact either Joy Perry (UW- Fox Valley @ joy.perry@uwc.edu and 920-832-2653), or Roger Kanitz (ECOS- FV @ rkanitz@new.rr.com and 920-722-6438)

Sustainably Yours... Joy Perry (UW-Fox Valley) and Roger Kanitz (ECOS-FV)

Oshkosh City Councilors won't be able to attend that meeting due to a city budget workshop being held at the same time, but I do hope some of the Energy & Advisory Board members can attend.
