Attend a seminar without leaving your desk. Using "webinar" technology (participant needs a telephone and computer with internet access), SEI trainer will lead a seminar covering the basics of an Environmental Management System (EMS). Each participant will be able to interact with the instructor and other participants; with a conference phone and projector, several participants from the same location can gather to participate as a team. Webinar is FREE to public entities: private sector organizations can make donations to SEI. To register, contact Sue Sakaki at 510-531-5377 or sue@sustainableearthinitiative.org.
2010 EMS Implementation Program
The EPA PEER program has demonstrated that a cost-effective way of delivering EMS assistance to governmental entities is by grouping a number of public entities together to share the cost of training and consultation. In 2009 SEI is offering a 12-month program for public entities committed to implementing Environmental Management Systems (EMS). The program will consist of six workshops that capture the latest in field tested tools and materials designed for the public sector. Additionally, SEI will offer on-site coaching and consultation. Workshop themes:
Schedule and Cost: $15,000 per organization allows up to three persons from the organization to attend the workshops and each organization will receive at least one day of on-site consultation and phone consultation as needed.
