After more than 20 years of experience in facilities administration, I have become convinced that if we do not adopt environmental, economic and social sustainability as core values in business, resource, and land development our species (as well as many others) will simply not survive. I feel a personal responsibility to participate in the effort to help transform our current business culture in the direction of sustainability. Recognition of the interconnectivity across the range of systems and stakeholders involved in any organized process is at the heart of sustainability and the key to its success.   During my time in Dominican University's Green MBA Program I have had the opportunity to broaden my experience and knowledge in order to tap into my own creativity in a more meaningful way. I have become more than just glib conversationalist; my "cleverness" is beginning to count for something in the real world. I am learning how to help individuals and organizations recognize the importance of the way our mutual needs and behaviors interconnect. To be able to experience that interconnectivity within the context of people creating wealth and sustainable prosperity is very exciting.

What people are saying about the GreenMBA

“It was a genuine pleasure to work with the Green MBA Team as they researched and designed the Maker Faire Alternative Transportation Plan.  We were able to successfully institute this plan with the city and county departments and raise awareness in the process.  The overall experience for our attendees improved greatly while reducing the impact the Maker Faire had on the environment.  The professionalism, diligence and aptitude of the team was top notch and together we made a difference.  This collaboration was an astounding success and our first benchmark goal was accomplished.  A great appreciation to the students for a job well done! Thank you.”
