Revenue is what pays for everything else that a profitable business does – marketing\, accounting\, finance\, administration – everything. Yet “take a look at the curricula of the world’s top-ranked business schools\, and you might come away with the impression that sales is unimportant. Most MBA programs offer no sales-related courses at all\, and those that do offer only a single course in sales management. Even at the undergraduate level of business instruction\, sales courses are sparse.” \n-Harvard Business Review\, Teaching Sales\, July-August 2012. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session. \n\n Click here to register!

This pause has resulted in significant changes to energy use and carbon emissions. With lockdowns now being lifted\, more and more businesses will reopen and we’ll all try to return to our normal social and travel activities. \nBut the climate crisis will still be waiting for us when the pandemic ends\, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that economic recovery is done with the health of the planet in mind. Can we balance clean energy goals with the need to rebuild our economies? Should we be focused on returning to “normal\,” or can we instead see this as an opportunity to progress toward “better”? \nThis panel of clean energy planners\, policy influencers\, and leaders will detail some of the most important clean energy efforts and goals to focus on during the next year amid the ongoing pandemic and recovery. \nPanelists \n\nKatherine Hamilton\, Chair of 38 North Solutions\nLara Skinner\, Executive Director of The Worker Institute at Cornell\nBrian Bauer\, Entrepreneur in Residence at Cornell’s Center for Regional Economic Advancement\nKatherine MacDonald\, Assistant Director\, Technology to Market at NYSERDA\n\n\n Click here to register!
