SUMMARY:August Coffee Hour
DESCRIPTION:The Local First Coffee Hour events are a casual opportunity to connect with member businesses\, hear about our upcoming programs\, and learn how to build an economy that puts people first. We host them monthly with the support of Bloom Credit Union. \nHost highlight: For the last 20 years\, Catalyst Partners has been assembling a team of trusted industry leaders who share a common passion: to create positive environmental impact\, one project at a time. Founded on the principles of integrative project delivery\, we act as the “catalyst” to help our clients establish their objectives and achieve them via our various Sustainability Consulting\, Healthy Building Consulting\, Building Performance\, and Green Building Certification services. \nWe have delivered over 500 projects and have provided building performance and consulting services for over 39 million square feet of projects locally\, nationally\, and internationally. But we bring something more than just volume; we bring a sincere interest in listening to our clients and tailoring our approach to the precise needs of each and every project. \nSafety expectations: We’d like to continue meeting monthly\, in-person for our Coffee Hour events. To safely do so\, event attendees are expected to adhere to current CDC recommendations. Masks are optional and we have developed a sticker system to identify attendees’ comfort levels. Changes to this protocol will be made when/if necessary. \nWe hope you’ll join us for good coffee and even better conversation.
