The Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC) will offer its accreditation course, GREENleaders, at the upcoming High Point Market, April 6 - 10. The 6-hour certificate course provides a grounding in sustainability issues and offers practical solutions for growing an eco-friendly home furnishings business.
GREENleaders at High Point Market will be presented in a new, more manageable format, over the course of two mornings. Included is a networking luncheon for all market attendees. This course is approved by IDCEC for .6 HSW CEUs (6 ceu) and by GBCI for 6 CE hours for LEED Professionals. Completing GREENleaders also results in acknowledgement as a GREEN Accredited Professional, a designation maintained with continuing education.
Consumers are growing more concerned about the health of the planet. SFC's GREENleaders gives designers, retailers, manufacturers, reps, and others the knowledge and credentials they need to help solve the problems that come with the industry’s environmental footprint.
GREENleaders will be presented in the Seminar Room at Suites at Market Square, April 9 and 10 from 9:30am to 12:30pm. The SFC Networking Luncheon follows class on April 9; an informal lunch follows class on April 10. Visit sustainablefurnishings.org to register and RSVP for the lunch.
