Monday, February 8th, 2010Tomorrow the New York City Fair Trade Coalition will meet. Volunteers, business members and anyone else interested in supporting Fair Trade please come out to 248 Mercer St, in the Basement of Think! Coffee.
We’ll have speakers and a discussion, from the NYC Fair Trade Coalition’s history to member and business members’ experiences in Fair Trade. I will be one of the business member speakers.
A workshop discussion will be led by Sharon Joseph, a dynamic motivational speaker, trainer and consultant. The goal will be to develop elevator-style pitch which we will use to promote NYC Fair Trade Coalition & concisely describe key elements of Fair Trade.
Please come out and learn more about the NYC Fair Trade Coalition!
