Early-bird registration is now open for Sarasota County's 14th Annual Sustainable Communities Workshop on November 14, a daylong event to showcase strategies for healthy, resilient and thriving communities. Under the "Growing Greener Generations" theme, the 2019 workshop will tackle resiliency, food production, social equity, biodiversity, green economy and other topics through multi-generational panels and three keynote speakers: Josh Tickell, an author and filmmaker whose work provides young people with tools to reshape political power and change the climate conversation; Chris Castro, director of Orlando's Office of Sustainability & Resilience and developer of Fleet Farming, a social enterprise that redefines local food systems by building organic farms on residential lawns; and Syd Kitson, chairman and CEO of Kitson & Partners, a firm that specializes in creating and developing master-planned communities focused on sustainable, responsible growth.

Early-bird registration of $35 is available through October 14, and $45 after. Students pay just $25. All registrations include continental breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. For more information, follow the website below.
