ANNOUNCING: Keynote speaker Wade Crowfoot, Environmental Defense Fund’s Political Director of the West Coast and formerly worked with Mayor Newsom as the city’s Director of Climate Protection. Christopher and Amber Marie Bently of Bently Holdings and Stefan Muhle will be welcoming guests and introducing speakers.

EVENT DESCRIPTION: The LEED certified Orchard Hotels and the Bently Reserve have partnered to create an unprecedented eco-event: they will gather San Francisco’s green leaders under one roof for a special night of collaboration and creation. Over 60 Bay Area environmental nonprofits, foundations and businesses will have a unique opportunity to connect face-to-face during this lively and inspiring evening.
A first of its kind for San Francisco, A Common Green will give eco-friendly organizations the chance to network, communicate and coordinate their efforts under one green roof. The possibilities for new partnerships, collaborations and initiatives are endless – but the goal for a greener future is common to all. San Francisco’s most influential energy leaders, nonprofits, organizations, and entrepreneurs will be attending this sustainable soiree. The Nature Conservancy, Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Footprint, The Energy Foundation and Craigslist Foundation will be presenting information and current projects in dedicated conference rooms during the event.
Green Certified caterer Paula LeDuc Fine Catering will provide her celebrated hors d’oeuvres made with local and sustainable ingredients, paired with organic wine provided by Hallcrest Vineyards. Massages will be provided by Pitstop Massage. Ecofabulous is the green media sponsor for the event.
In what will become an annual event, A Common Green is a meeting of minds for the Bay Area’s many environmental communities and leaders, giving them the chance to create concerted efforts to improve the quality of life for the entire West Coast.
