ISE Corporate Partners

Corporate Partners of the Institute for Sustainable Enterprise are offered a number of special benefits. 

Dear ISE Corporate Partner,

As an ISE Corporate Partner, we’re writing to let you know of our upcoming conference “Jumpstarting the Green Economy,” May 19-21, 2009 (www.jumpstartgreen.org ) at our Madison Campus, and to invite you to participate on a preferential basis in the conference itself, as a sponsor, and/or as an exhibitor. This major event is a gathering of many of the key people focusing on sustainability in NJ and the Northeast. It addresses important topics across the entire sustainability spectrum including among others: corporate sustainability, sustainable communities, greening the healthcare system, sustainable investing, sustainable chemistry, clean energy, green building, transitioning to green careers, and the re-localization of food, work, and money.

Your special invitation to participate (for ISE Corporate Partners only) includes the following key elements:

  • Admission to the conference is at a reduced rate for Corporate Partners. You can have two individuals from your company attend the conference at the “nonprofit” rate ($125 each; $100 off the early bird rate).
  • Conference Sponsorship/Green Expo/Green Jobs Fair Exhibitors: Your company can be visibly identified as a sponsor of the event at reduced rates ($100 off the Copper level, $250 off Bronze, and $500 off each of the remaining levels). The regular and Corporate Partner sponsorship rates are listed below. Sponsorship of the conference includes free admissions and scholarships, an exhibitor table at the Green Expo running concurrently with the conference, participation in the “Green Jobs and Entrepreneurial Opportunities Fair” as well as program ads and recognition at the event.

Green Jobseekers and Entrepreneurial Opportunities Fair

At the conclusion of the conference, we are hosting New Jersey’s first “Green Jobseekers and Entrepreneurial Opportunities Fair” (co-sponsored by NJIT) to be held from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday May 21. We are inviting businesses, business associations, government agencies, nonprofits, and recruiters to participate. In addition to the Conference attendees, admission to the Fair will be free to the public. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with people who want to shift their careers into the Green Economy. For non conference sponsors, we are requesting a $125 suggested donation to help defray costs, which will include a table, exposition space, and refreshments.

  • Any organization that signs up for the Green Expo or for the full Conference is invited to stay for the Jobs and Opportunities fair, and attend any conference sessions they wish. For more information on the Jobs Fair, please contact Robb Kushner by email or 973-763-8844.

We see this Conference and associated opportunities as a mutually beneficial opportunity: for us by having you as sponsor/exhibitor, and for you by exposing you to a new and wider audience. Our conference last year was a remarkable success and praised by those who attended as engaging, worthwhile, and impactful in connecting a very diverse and powerful community.
