2009 Workshops

We are excited that so many people from our community are participating as Workshop Leaders. The instruction and ideas that our attendees will learn from these workshops come from people and business leaders in our community. With 10 workshops running simultaneously attendees will have lots of choices to choose from. So plan to spend Saturday October 24th with us and 'Dig a Little Deeper' into sustainability.There will be no registration, seating is 'first come, first serve', so plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to the workshop for good seating.


Make sure to take a break from workshops to visit the exhibitors and enjoy the live music in the commons.
