The South Metropolitan Higher Education Consortium and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus invite you to attend a Link and Leverage forum.
We will work with the Caucus to align environmental issues, resources and actions at the local and regional levels to help municipalities achieve meaningful and measurable environmental sustainability and resilience.
Link & Leverage: A higher education, government, and community based organization partnership for sustainability and resiliency The South Metropolitan Higher Education Consortium (SMHEC) is a diverse group of higher education institutions- community colleges, research institutions, for-profit, not-for-profit, small and large- in the south and southwest suburban Chicago area fostering new and enhanced educational services and programs to citizens, businesses and other institutions in region.
