Please join us on April 24th to hear from Catherine Hurley, Evanston’s Sustainable Programs Coordinator, about the yearlong assessment of our community’s sustainability across seven broad categories. What is the STAR program and how does it measure sustainability? Where did Evanston exceed expectations. And what will it take to earn a 5-STAR rating when we go up for re-certification in 2017?

We hope you will join us for this free event!

Networking from 6:30-7:00 pm. Program begins at 7:00 pm.
