Green For All Business Academies - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Green For All’s complimentary Business Academy will be held on March 30, 2010 at the University of Phoenix campus located at 5700 Pasadena Ave. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87113, starting at 8:30am MST, and concluding at 3pm MST. The goal of this Academy is to engage and educate small business owners in the region, and to provide them with the tools and resources they need to scale their operations and create green jobs locally.

Please note that the Academy is focused on those people that own or operate an existing small business. All attendees MUST complete and return a very brief application (PDF or Word), and receive confirmation that they have been selected to attend. While preference will be given to green business owners, anyone looking to make their operations more environmentally sustainable is also encouraged to participate. Space at this Academy will be very limited, so anyone that has not been formally accepted will not be allowed entrance.
