• What sustainability practices do you and your organization have in place?
• Please be thinking about what you currently do, what you would like to do, what you need to know more about, and barriers you face in implementing sustainability practices.
• At the upcoming USITT Fall Conference on September 16 and 17, we will spend a little time collecting information to help gain a baseline of sustainability practices currently in use in our region's theaters.
Your input during the NBS Fall Conference will be used to help guide planning.
