 There are many rating systems to determine which cities are the environmental gardens of the future. Cities score points for drawing their energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric power. They earn high scores for offering incentives for residents to invest in their own power sources, like roof-mounted solar panels. Cities whose commuters take public transportation or carpool score high. Air quality also plays a role. Cities earn points for the number of buildings certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, as well as for devoting area to green space, such as public parks and nature preserves.During this 60 minute session we will look at case studies of cities that are hitting the top of the "Sustainable Cities" charts. Participants will have the opportunity to share what their cities are doing to impact everything from air quality to recycling!  The vitality of our economy and the conduct of modern life depend upon moving people and goods. Yet, our ability to do so is increasingly complicated by a range of systemic variables: population growth and congestion, excessive CO2 emissions and climate change, land use and preservation of the environment, shifting energy sources and economics, and the nation's deepening fiscal challenges.This 40-minute session will explore the 21st century transportation riddle and examine several strategies one American city is implementing to improve its sustainability position. Additional Upcoming Webinars
For many years leaders at all levels in the private and public sectors have searched for the right tools and techniques to help them create high-performing departments and organizations. This webinar will provide you with a proven template for developing a strategic plan that will provide direction while allowing you to view and measure several key aspects of your department or organization simultaneously. You will learn how to identify organization values as the foundation for developing a mission statement, goals, strategies, and action plans.The opportunity to increase your value to your city has never been better. Rapid changes in today’s business climate and the prediction of uncertain economic times ahead make your leadership skills and the initiatives you put in place even more important.Successful leaders are forged during times of greatest challenge. They share common traits and they commit to values that link every level of an organization together. These leaders produce more effective strategies, they build higher levels of trust, and they make the best choices. Some of their choices are never seen by others. These are character choices. Other choices are action choices, moving people and organizations towards success. And then there are investment choices through which leaders reap the profit of success. Gain insight into 12 choices others have made - and you can make. These choices will help you take control of your leadership role, make better decisions and encourage success in every aspect of your life. |
