A Common Green – San Francisco’s First Annual Conservation Consortium at the Reserve

August 4th, 2009 By: Doug Hahn

The LEED certified Orchard Hotels and the Bently Reserve have partnered to create an unprecedented eco-event: they will gather San Francisco’s green leaders under one roof for a special night of collaboration and creation. Bay Area nonprofits, foundations, and businesses will have a unique opportunity to connect face-to-face during this lively and inspiring evening.

A first of its kind for San Francisco, A Common Green will give eco-friendly organizations the chance to network, communicate, and coordinate their efforts under one green roof. The possibilities for new partnerships, collaborations, and initiatives are endless — but the goal for a greener future is common to all. San Francisco’s most influential energy leaders, nonprofits, organizations, and entrepreneurs will be in attending this sustainable soiree.

The event will be held at the LEED-registered Bently Reserve on Thursday, August 20th, from 5 to 7 p.m. Green Certified caterer Paula LeDuc Fine Catering will provide delicious hors d’oeuvres made with local and sustainable ingredients, paired with organic wine provided by Hallcrest Vineyards. A special surprise guest speaker will be making a keynote address.

“This will be the first time an event in San Francisco has worked to bring all green nonprofits, foundations, universities, green minded entrepreneurs and businesses together to meet, learn about activities and projects, and discover areas where we can collaborate to further environmental conservation,”

says Christopher Bently, CEO of Bently Holdings.

His wife Amber Marie, the President of Bently Holdings and a prominent eco-couture jewelry designer, added

“We believe this is an especially important time to be hosting this event. As funding for environmental initiatives has become more challenging yet environmental issues are pressing, networking and collaboration can uncover opportunities and solutions otherwise left untapped.”

In what will become an annual event, A Common Green is a meeting of minds for the Bay Area’s many environmental communities and leaders, giving them the chance to create concerted efforts to improve the quality of life for the entire West Coast.
