The Sustainable Business Network of MA (SBN) has had a mission to create local, green, and fair economies for over thirty years and hosts an annual conference to promote this mission. This year the 31st Annual Conference will be held virtually on June 4, 2021 and will seek to inspire collaborative action that will work to develop a strong economy that is local, green, and fair.
