Greening Businesses is Topic of Next Enterprise MBA Programs Speaker Series  

The newly launched Wisconsin Enterprise MBA Speaker Series continues in April with Paul Linzmeyer, general partner of the firm, Innovation for Sustainable Operations, Inc.

The speaker series began in February with Jon Foley, the founder and director of UW-Madison’s Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE) as its first guest speaker.
