I am very passionate about this issue and wanted to learn more so I was able to apply it in my everyday life,\u201d said Bosecker, who graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in December with a bachelor\u2019s in environmental science.<\/p>\n<p>Green leaders is a collaboration between green|spaces, the local group focused on the sustainability of living, working and building in Chattanooga and UTC.\u00a0Since\u00a0it\u00a0started in mid-January, about 20 people from such companies as EPB, TVA, the Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga State Community College and the Hutton real estate and property development company\u00a0have graduated and received a certificate of accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis certificate creates environmental stewards who will champion changes within their businesses, industries and communities,\u201d said Kelley Cureton, director of green|leaders. \u201cA broad, holistic approach, the green|leader certificate will examine how businesses can be resilient, increase efficiencies, prepare for risk and communicate the value propositions of sustainability to customers, employees and investors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to help businesses and individuals become integral pieces in the drive to increase environmental awareness in the Chattanooga area. Among other subjects, the course tackles subjects such as understanding energy, water and waste from global, regional and local standpoints, environmentally friendly ways of landscaping and cost-effective ways for buying supplies from companies that practice sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Bosecker, who has earned the certificate of accreditation, said the green|leaders courses gave her \u201ca more well-rounded understanding about sustainability that overall influences me to be a better environmental steward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green|spaces sets up the online course\u2019s webpage, creates the content and keeps track of who has signed up and whether they complete the course, which has eight separate lessons. Once all the sections are\u00a0completed, green|spaces sends a message to the UTC Center for Professional Education, which then issues the certificate of accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe monitor the educational part of record, maintaining the integrity of the program, not that we\u2019re providing subject expertise to validate it,\u201d said John Freeze, director of the center. \u201cWe maintain the integrity of who completes it, who did what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While understanding and embracing issues of sustainability is always important, it\u2019s\u00a0even more critical with COVID-19 bringing uncertainty to both small-business owners and larger companies, Cureton said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe find the curriculum material now more relevant than ever as businesses who have positioned their operations\u00a0around the triple bottom line\u2014economic, social and environmental\u2014have been better prepared for this uncertain economic climate,\u201d she continued. \u201cRisk mitigation is a key strategy in sustainable business operations and knowing how to navigate the ebbs and flows of uncertainty is invaluable for professionals to have in their toolkit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For UTC, there\u2019s an added benefit to being part of the green|leaders program, Freeze said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere I see this of particular interest or importance for UTC is it\u2019s touching on leadership development in the workforce, and that\u2019s a lot of what we do in this office,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to be a university that is community-engaged, that wants to be more than just four walls and 18-\u00a0to 22-year-old undergrads. This, to me, is a perfect example of how universities can partner with community-based groups to fill some need or opportunity. Who doesn\u2019t benefit from efforts\u2014small or large\u2014that make our city a better place to live work and play?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that the course offerings focus on what works in Chattanooga, not broad strokes about global solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe interesting part of this is that the program itself has been designed to have a very local focus,\u201d Freeze said. \u201cSo what does sustainability look like in Chattanooga? That probably looks a lot different than sustainability in, say, Phoenix, Ariz., or Boston, Mass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bosecker said the\u00a0program gave her new ideas that will help the Creative Discovery Museum, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned about new techniques and programs that will assist the museum in tracking utilities and the environmental footprint,\u201d Bosecker said. \u201cThese programs will help to create baselines that the museum can use to track progress and successes in various goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The goal of green|leaders is to help businesses and individuals become integral pieces for increased environmental awareness in the Chattanooga area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/08\/utc-greenspaces-work-together-on-citywide-sustainability-program\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":32718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,64],"tags":[99178],"class_list":{"0":"post-32450","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-news","9":"tag-office-of-professional-education","10":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
