Environmental TASC Force Creation

Its almost here - the first meeting of the Edmonton chapter for the NORMI Pro Environmental TASC Force is tomorrow. I have been selected to organize and launch the chapter for Environmental (aka "Green") professionals for the Greater Edmonton Area. The first meeting for prospective members is being held tomorrow night (Thursday May 14th) at Second Cup on Whyte Avenue, at 7pm.

NORMI has created this group as an international professional organization and will be seeking trades, contractors and professionals representing all the areas where homes and work environments are affected by anything environmental. All members will be bound by a strict Code of Ethics and the professionals will meet to organize and collaborate on projects.

Group members will benefit by having access to co-op marketing, ongoing training, guest speaking opportunities and a way to truly differentiate themselves from their competition. All serious professionals should examine this opportunity as it will be extremely limited once the TASC Force is operational. People with an interest in community and collaboration are ideally-suited to this membership.
