Sustainability Travel Management 101

According to Earth.org, the average US consumer throws away 81.5 lbs of clothes each year!  GBTA | WI would like to help reduce the amount of textiles ending up in landfills, so we have teamed up with The Milwaukee Ladies of Charity for a children's clothing drive.  Please bring new or gently used clothing for ages 3 to 18 and all adult sizes (for high school students) to our meeting.  You will receive a special gift for donating!

REMEMBER....don't forget to bring your favorite water bottle in support of sustainability!

NEW!!  Want to attend the annual conference but not sure if your company will pay for it? 

You can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win an Annual Conference Registration OR a Tradeshow Table - the winner chooses their prize!!

   

 We are thrilled to welcome Marianne Balfe, Vice-President of Sustainability at Highgate, as our Guest Speaker!

Marianne's topic is Sustainability Travel Management 101:

 Companies worldwide are examining their business travel practices as a lever to reduce carbon emissions and overall environmental impact. Brought to you by the GBTA Sustainability Committee, this keynote will focus on the practical application of climate action and other sustainability initiatives, including methods to track and reduce carbon emissions from business travel. It will also address the challenges and opportunities organizations face as they look to launch or advance their sustainable travel management program.
