Well the holidays are behind us and we are grateful for a wonderful 2010. We at Net Impact wished our old board members adieu and welcomed a new board this last summer. Our new board set a goal for creating new avenues to help Austin's burgeoning business leaders become sustainability leaders as well. To help our members achieve this goal we have added some great new programs and events to our 2011 calendar.
