The “Sustainable Jersey Fall Networking Event” will take place on October 23, 2012 at 6:30 pm at Careme’s Restaurant in Atlantic Cape Community College Campus
5100 Black Horse Pike, Mays Landing.
The Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) invites towns and interested
members of the public to this event.
The honorable Dr. Ed Mahaney Jr.,
Mayor of Cape May City, will be the guest speaker and will share his experience
leading his community to a more sustainable future. Sustainable Jersey is a
certification program for municipalities in New Jersey interested in taking
steps to sustain the quality of life for residents. Sustainable Jersey
identifies concrete actions that municipalities can implement to become
“certified” and be considered leaders on the path to a sustainable community.
While the program provides extensive guidance and tools to help towns
complete the actions needed for certification, the certification process is
comprehensive and rigorous, and may be seen as a daunting task.
This event is intended to offer people a chance to talk with other community
leaders about their successes and challenges on the path to certification as a
sustainable community through this program. Collaboration is the key and this
informal evening offers opportunities to connect with experienced groups and
individuals for support and information.
With 376 towns registered and 109 certified across the state, there is a lot
of collective knowledge about the program and successful certification.
Certified communities, large and small, possess a wealth of experience that can
benefit other towns moving towards this common goal.
The cost to attend is $10 and includes a dinner featuring local seasonal food
prepared by the Atlantic Cape Community College Culinary Institute.
