On March 15th, our member businesses gathered in Boston to attend CABA’s most recent All Member Reception. The event provided an opportunity for new and seasoned CABA member businesses to share stories, network, and learn more about how to take action on climate change.
After business leaders arrived and settled in, CABA Executive Director Michael Green and Treasurer Susan Labandibar shared their memories of CABA’s beginnings and core principles. A manifestation of the principle that businesses can have an impact on our climate, CABA has continued to grow in membership since its creation five years ago. The speaking section of the evening culminated in a question-and-answer session, during which members voiced their visions for CABA’s future. On the horizon: more members, expanded programming, and greater action all-around. Stay tuned!
