| Green Group to Offer Industry's First Certification |
|
At the group’s annual meeting this August in Long Beach, California, the Association for Green Meetings & Events will launch the first-ever program for Certification in Green Meetings and Events. CGME aims to help people in the industry successfully produce socially and environmentally responsible events.
Interested business and meeting professionals will receive certification after completing a 25-hour program combining a logistical curriculum and hands-on activities.
"I conducted an independent survey to 200 random meeting and event professionals within the United States and Canada,” said AGME co-founder and president Loriann White in a press release last week. "The alarming statistic was that 85 percent were in favor of a certification dedicated to green meetings."
