The arts have always been on the forefront of change, and never has change been more required than today.  Whether your organization needs to cut its facility costs, needs to compete with nonprofits for donation dollars, wants to go green to fulfill its mission, wants to serve as a positive example, or do all of the above, this class is for you.  We will investigate how to balance ease of change with impact.  We will determine which changes are easy to institute, which will provide the greatest financial reward, which will really reduce your carbon load, and which will involve and build credibility with your audiences.  From planning your own Green Team to utilizing effective calculators, this class is very hands-on, and concludes with a final Green plan that will be tailored to the unique needs of your institution.  Maximum: 15 students. All course work is applied to a case study organization, which may be your own organization or one where you volunteer.
