MONROE - How does a community make steady progress towards sustainablility? How do you gauge the overall health and long-term sustainability of a community?

The Green County UW-Extension office in coordination with the Green County Development Corporation is hosting a webinar session on Sustainability Indicators and Measurement from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, at Yodel Hall in the Government Services Building, N3150B Wisconsin 81, Monroe.

Sustainability indicators use data to measure progress. The resulting information can be used to raise awareness about community health, the environment, social well being and economic development. Learn about an array of indicator models across the country and how they are used as a basis for further policy development, funding targets, and improved activities and strategies to promote sustainability. The May program will feature John Talberth, Director of the Sustainability Indicators Program, Redefining Progress, as part of the Building Communities educational series, developed by the UW-Extension Center for Community and Economic Development.

Participants are encouraged to pre-register by calling Cara Carper at (608) 328-9441. Drinks will be provided and all are welcome to bring a lunch while attending.
