I first learned about the Green Omaha Coalition (GOC) from a friend. I started my sustainable marketing business last year and want to focus on developing solutions for my community. My first exposure to the group was when they hosted an Omaha Chamber of Commerce ‘Academy’ session on green business. It was an interesting seminar and I was impressed with the comprehensive approach to sustainability.

The GOC brings together interested local experts, businesses and advocates to make meaningful local change. Corey and I went to our first official meeting at Elmwood Park last weekend, where we learned about all of the counsels. We are most interested in the Green Business Counsel (GBC), so we hooked up for a cup of coffee with Marcella who runs it.

She has invited us to join the steering committee to help market the GBC to get the message out and recruit more members. I’m drawing up a project profile, and then we are going to work together to define our timelines and responsibilities. I couldn’t be more excited.
