Denver Green Drinks: Policy Advocacy Opportunities for Business Leaders

Join us for Denver Green Drinks, our monthly gathering of sustainability professionals, business leaders, advocates, and community members who are passionate about building a more resilient and sustainable Colorado. This month's conversation will focus on policy initiatives and advocacy opportunities available to Colorado business leaders to help advance climate protections. Representatives from E2, the American Sustainable Business Network and Colorado Businesses for Climate Action Coalition will provide brief updates on upcoming opportunities for business engagement and practical ways business leaders and companies can make their voices heard, followed by informal networking. Whether you're new to policy advocacy or already engaged, this is a great opportunity to learn what's happening, meet like-minded professionals, and discover ways you or your business can help shape Colorado's climate future. We look forward to seeing you at Odell Brewing Co. for an evening of meaningful conversations, new connections, and local action. Pizza and first drink provided!
