The Greenwich Sustainability Committee State of Sustainability Report is up for renewal and we would love for your initiative /
organization to be represented and/or updated! The report aggregates the committee sectors, including food systems. Select Person Janet Stone McGuigan will present the report to the Board of Selectman on April 25th. 
 
Please email me one or two accomplishments your organization is proud of and/or advanced your work in a significant way in the last year. 
 
Some ideas to get you thinking:
  • measurable data driven metrics
  • a strategic plan or project that is underway
  • a new member to your team or board
  • an area of growth and learning
  • an important team building experience
What is most important is that your work is represented in some capacity. Additionally, photos are welcome!
 
We need your update by Friday, March 15th. If we do not hear from you, we will assume you DO NOT want your organization to be included in the report. OR we will leave what we have from 2023. PLEASE confirm either way. To review the food system section for 2023 see here.
 
We look forward to spotlighting your updates!
