"Responsible business leaders know that to thrive in this century we need to get a lot of things right: climate, regulation, food production, natural resources protection, equitable trade, and greater balance in our lifestyles and culture," said Steve Schueth, President of First Affirmative Financial Network, producer of SRI in the Rockies. "We need to get something else right, too: money. SRI in the Rockies is one of the best places to learn how to get money right."
The 2009 conference theme, From Crisis to Opportunity: Investing for a Sustainable Economy, reflects an agenda that offers solid, practical information and insights, along with a healthy dose of inspiration from sustainable business and investing leaders. Participants can expect to hear how money and sustainable business interact, from green and community investing to emerging markets and the financial impacts of climate change.
SRI in the Rockies is produced by First Affirmative Financial Network in collaboration with the Social Investment Forum. Some 550 attendees from the U.S. and around the world are expected to gather October 25-28, 2009 at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona for this 20th Anniversary Conference.
There is room for a few more. In honor of the 20th anniversary, conference registration fees have been rolled back by 20 percent. All meals are included in the registration fee, and the food is great!
