BE THE CHANGE with Acterra

Acterra.org offers a new unique 9 month Environmental Leadership course, aptly named Be the Change, in honor of Ghandi's global influence to take on what you want to see in the world personally.

“Be the Change is a remarkable forum that embodies the new environmentalism – it integrates the thoughtful contributions of top-notch environmental leaders from industry, government, and social movements alike.”

Here is a personal reference from yours truly to share the details of this new program:

Dear all prospective students,
I attended this breakthrough new style course in 2008 to 2009 as the second class. Over the needed 9 month period we covered all the major environmental issues facing us on a local level and offered the needed global perspective too.
During the course I took on a large scale project, assisting SF City Hall with Earth Hour 2009. I stepped in as a passionate skillful volunteer on this large project including major players of WWF, PGE, BOMA and Esurance company, the main supporter. Taking on a social project in your community is so very powerful and you will make wonderful connections to achieve larger than self goals quickly. Having the support of fellow classmates and the accessible instructors was crucial and offered perfect resources.
The monthly classes offered us the time to really be active using the new knowledge of each issue, realizing so many are overlapping and all encompass in the modern environmental movement.
Currently I have changed careers from the Travel business to new entrepreneurial sustainable projects and products. I am starting a Sustainable MBA program in 2010 with the Presidio Graduate School while working with a worldwide project to rebuild Haiti with Bamboo! WOW...
Please feel free to contact me for questions and congrats on seeking a new way to BE THE CHANGE!
Best regards,

My Sustainable MBA with Presidio!

In the Fall of 2010, Jared Brick (author) will begin his formal business career schooling with the new Presidio Graduate School with an MBA in Sustainable Management based in San Francisco, California.  This two year full time program is a newly concentrated area of study benefiting all types of private/public business ventures, civic government bold entrepreneurship and sustainable management.  It is my belief that the only business that will thrive in this new economy and even purely survive, will have dominant sustainable practices.

"Presidio is producing a new kind of leader in every area—from business management to public policy, from social entrepreneurship to global governance—with the courage and competence to manage, influence, develop, teach, and create."

Here is more about the Presidio Graduate School Sustainable MBA program:

"Presidio prepares MBA students to be skilled managers who are competitive and relevant in any field. Every business professional is challenged in today's marketplace to lead and manage successful organizations while understanding complex and interdependent issues such as greenhouse-gas emissions reduction, transportation planning, green building and procurement, waste management, and energy and water conservation. Navigating these challenges requires applying a new lens to traditional management practices.

Our degree in business administration connects rigorous management theory and practice with social responsibility, ecological awareness, systems thinking, and leadership within an integrated framework of sustainable management. As a unifying concept, sustainability weaves the core elements of the program together in ways that help students make connections, promote innovation, and create transformative solutions in service of a more sustainable future."
