SAME Strategic Partners – Learn More
Our COI strives to do three main things: support our members, provide expertise in the environmental arena, and be a resource. When I am in the office and stuck on a problem, I head to the breakroom to find people I can bounce ideas off of. I want the Environmental COI to be an extension of your “breakroom”—except that you have a few hundred peers available to you! I encourage you to reach out and be part of it.
