These Venues in the Lower East side scare me sometimes...

All in all it was a nice place, the ceiling looked like the hull of a
ship - kinda cool. I met a few people who were very interested to
learn more about the 02-Network, and I followed up before writing this
post!

Our main forms of marketing are the website and yahoogroup - are there
others? I think while we are developing the website this yahoogroup
serves as a great repository for our green resources. Perhaps we
should all build upon them in the links, files, and databases, and
prepare other info/content for the website.

Is there an electronic version of our brochures? Maybe my next set of
IEEE biz cards will have some 02 info on the back - and save paper!

University Relations

I think reaching out to students is a great way to grow, inform, and
even recruit volunteers. Some potential approaches:
-Students can support 02nyc projects
-Students can build relationships w/ universities, get more support
-Students can hold lectures, help disseminate info

Organization/Marketing
Marketing is unclear to me. I know this is the ultimate goal of the
survey, but what industries can/should we focus on?

for example (please feel free to add/modify):

Sustainable Development
-Energy Infrastructure
-Transportation Infrastructure
-Water/Waste Infrastructure
-Facility / Property Development
-Community and Urban Planning
-Interior Design

Sustainable Products & Materials
-consumer products
-recycling
-fabrics / clothing
-furniture
-manufacturing/industrial

Sustainable Living
-agriculture
-ergonomics
-healthcare/welfare
-environment

Do we want to target specific industries? I think this would be a big
help when marketing to Design Firms, Universities etc. It will give
others a better sense of what we are about, and how far and wide
sustainability reaches into virtually any industry/sector.

Some food for thought. Im trying to focus on a few things in a large
field. It will be difficult trying to communicate 'everything green'
to students/firms and expect them to get involved - I think. Who
knows, sometimes more is good.
