Topic: "How Sustainable Forests are Good for Business & Society"
Drawing on her significant government experience, Erin Crotty, AHC Group Senior Associate and President of The Crotty Group, LLC, will demonstrate through the use of real-world, practical examples how government, business, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can develop innovative, market-based approaches that ensure sustainable forests for the benefit of society and business.
