The San Diego Regional Sustainability Partnership is pleased to share with its members and the public this flyer about a unique day dedicated to sustainability training in beautiful Balboa Park:

Special thanks to Kim Franklin for taking these pictures showing all the excitement, education and energy of the 2nd Annual Partnership Breakfast held November 18, 2009. For more on the Breakfast, see below.

The speakers and panelists at the November 18, 2009 Partnership Breakfast covered a lot of ground related to sustainability in the business and education sectors.

Many audience members expressed a desire to follow up with some of the speakers and panelists to get more information or raise questions or issues related to information covered in the presentations. To that end, names of speakers and panelists reachable by email are hyperlinked in blue on the Breakfast program agenda a couple of posts down. Click on a hyperlinked name for that person’s email address. More names will be hyperlinked to email addresses as permissions come in.

In addition, for more about the Breakfast presentations — and useful hyperlinks to more information about them — be sure to see the Twitter feed from the Breakfast, in the post below.
