Recycling Resilience Webinar

Join us for the second webinar in our FREE Recycling Resilience series and get the resources you need to adapt and thrive.  While questions and uncertainty are swirling about what a new recycling “normal” will look like, communities are committed to recycling.  Programs across the Carolinas are showing creativity and resiliency. Many are achieving a delicate balance to keep employees safe while maintaining core services. Others are making sure residents continue to receive the recycling services they value despite tight budgets at the local level. NC DEACS and SC DHEC will provide a bird’s eye view of what’s happening in the two states and outline strategies that are keeping programs evolving.  This event is free but registration is required.  Please register now and we look forward to speaking with you!

July Business After Hours Asheville Chamber of Commerce
Jul 2 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Online
Don’t leave for a holiday vacation or staycation without taking time to connect once more with your colleagues in the business community!

Our Business After Hours is still virtual, but there’s time for quality contacts and sharing of great ideas. We’ll break into small groups to engage each other in conversation; be prepared to socialize and share thoughts about what’s going on in your world — work-related or not! We’ll throw in a few fun questions to get everyone started.

If you’d like to contribute a door prize, let us know when you register so we can be prepared to recognize you! A list of all attendees registered will be shared with everyone following the event.

Not so sure about the Zoom format? Here’s what one participant had to say: “I really like these virtual breakouts. I meet people I wouldn’t have met; it feels just structured enough, but still comfortable.”
