“Leading employers in Union County and beyond have been deploying green strategies to improve their operations and appeal to today’s customers,” said Bergen. “This is a great opportunity to learn from experienced members of the business community and other stakeholders.”

Union County Means Green includes an informal breakfast networking session, two panel discussions, and time for more networking after the panels. Informational displays by businesses and community partners are also included.
