Watch
So our budding group here has quite a mouthful of a name. We should perhaps think of something a little catchier to facilitate branding. For instance, TRACS would be a pronouncable acronym and stand for TX Regional Alliance for Campus Sustainability. Or TASC could by TX Alliance for Sustainable Campuses.
This isn't a major detail, but for our summit on March 27, it will be very helpful to have an easily referenced name for publicity and other purposes. For instance we could call it the Sustainable Campus Conference or something to the point like that. Whatever we're called, welcome to the group and don't be shy! |
