Learn about Sustainable Camden County  

• Freeholder Jeff Nash, a long time environmental advocate will explain his passion for this effort. 
• Meet Chris Waldron, Camden County's new Sustainability Director and get an overview of the County's 2013 Sustainability Plan.  
• Hear Camden County Director of Shared Services and Somerdale Mayor, Gary Passanante share the County's vision for greening all of its 37 municipalities.

Get inspired by one community's collaborative efforts

• Community leaders from Stratford will describe their successful engagement of different stakeholder groups (municipal government, business-civic association, schools, residents, Kennedy Hospital, and UMDNJ) as the town charts its sustainable future.

Dialogue with others about forming connections with different portions of the community  

This is a great introduction for people curious about sustainability, and will also have value for those organizing efforts in their own communities. The relaxed atmosphere is ideal for meeting enthusiastic people from nearby communities (or perhaps right next door).
