Kansas City Eco-Org Networking Event

MCE will be hosting a Kansas City Eco-Org Networking Event for organizations in the Kansas City region that do work in the environmental space on Wednesday, July 26 from 8:30-10 am at PH Coffee (2200 Lexington Ave). 

This event is intended to bring individuals representing various organizations together to network and build relationships amongst one another, to have a space to share current events within your organization and to ask for assistance in spreading the word and encouraging participation from members of other organizations, and to collaborate on ideas, projects, or events.
