The support for creating positive change is overwhelming – especially in today’s challenging economy. Associations and their Industry Partners are actively finding ways to integrate social responsibility throughout every level of their organizations.
As a result, ASAE & The Center Boards of Directors support the Global Principles for Socially Responsible Associations & Non-Profits. The hospitality community is on board as well, as these principles align with their green initiatives for the meetings and travel industry and shows how associations and partners can create positive change. And we are asking for your support too!
Join the 55 organizations that as of April 10, have affirmed their support for incorporating smart sustainable business practices into their organizations. We need more organizations to sign on in order to create real change. Stop by the Global Principles area in Connection Central at the Springtime Expo, and demonstrate your support! Signers will receive a button to wear and auction dollars to participate in our “Taste of Canada” Live Auction. Below is the list of Auction Prizes, generously donated by our Canadian Partners. The Live Auction begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Grand Lobby.
