The Marin Green Business Forum debuted in November 2006, a few short months after the premiere of the Academy Award winning film, “An Inconvenient Truth”.  Dedicated to the business community, the objectives of the Forum are simple:
•    Connect with like-minded business visionaries
•    Learn how and why green businesses succeed
•    Learn why sustainability is a successful long term business strategy

With the world’s environment at risk and natural resources diminishing, green business practices have become an imperative.  As green certified businesses, the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce and MarinLink believe it is vital that Marin County take a leadership role in promoting local and global sustainability.  The Green Business Forum of Marin was created to promote both environmental consciousness and sustainability as essential components of successful business planning, business development and economic renewal.  Sustainable business practices create opportunity and create jobs- good for business and good for the bottom line!

Proceeds from the Marin Green Business Forum will benefit the Mill Valley Chamber’s economic development and green business programs and MarinLink’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program.
