Attract customers and operate your business more sustainably!

As previously mentioned in our post regarding the August launch of the Green Plus program (http://rogerslowellchamber.blogspot.com/2009/08/meaningful-green-certification-for.html), there are tremendous opportunities available to businesses who understand and pursue sustainable practices.

We're delighted to announce that Brick Street Botanical (www.brickstreetbotanical.com) in Historic Downtown Rogers, a member of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce since opening their doors last October, is the very first Green Plus certified business in the state of Arkansas!

National Public Radio (KUAF 91.3) reporter Jacqueline Froelich compiled a great story on Ozarks at Large recently regarding the Green Plus program featuring Holly Mang, owner of Brick Street Botanical. You can listen to the story here: http://bit.ly/3cWK2m and access photos at www.kuaf.org.

Currently, more than two dozen member businesses of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce are pursuing or considering Green Plus certification. Members of the chamber receive a substantial ($200) discount on the program.

Two upcoming information sessions will help interested businesses learn more, ask questions and enroll. Plan now to attend on either Thursday, October 29 from 11:00 to noon (register here: http://tinyurl.com/yzefca2) or Tuesday, November 3 from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. (register here: http://tinyurl.com/yhft5en) or in the AT&T Conference Room at the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce.
