Springfield Eco-Org Networking Event

MCE is hosting its first Springfield Eco-Org Networking Event for organizations in the Springfield region that are working to improve our environment. Similar to our MCE events hosted in Kansas City over the last couple of years, we are excited to expand this event to the Springfield region!

Goals

• Relationship building – A space where employees/volunteers from environmental organizations can meet and understand each other
• Information dissemination – What does your organization have going on, what would be helpful to have shared, how can others help to share that information
• Collaboration – What needs to be done that isn’t being done and how could groups work together to address it, what is your organization not able to do that others could help with, where do you need more volunteers or participants, how can we support one another

These events are free to all attendees, but registration is required.

Attendance is limited to individuals who work with or who volunteer with organizations in the greater Springfield area who are working to improve the environment.
