We greatly appreciate the support of all of our sponsors and Club Members! In fact, it is our mission to support the progression of the Green Movement in San Diego by promoting Sustainable businesses, providing education, networking and relationship building opportunities, and Eco Investing, which ultimately drives the Green Economy.

The launch of the San Diego chapter is very exciting for us because this chapter serves as the model for other Sustainable Leaders who want to launch a chapter of the Eco Investment Club in their city. The next club to be launched will be EIC-LA, which will be launched by Mr. Bob Bryant. We're currently seeking Sustainable Leaders in other major cities such as New York; Philadelphia; DC; Montreal; Baltimore; Portland; and Sante Fe. We have already been approached by leaders in these cities, as well as international leaders, who are interested in participating in the club model.

"We'd also like to thank Mr. Noble, who is Chairman of the Board, and three of his innovative companies, Noble Group Architects, Envision Solar, and Life Port Solar, serve as the Founding Sponsors of Eco Investment Club.

Attendee Comments:
"I wanted to thank you, Kristen, Bob and the other chair members for having me at your SD launch. I thought it was a great success! I took my boyfriend with me who has been looking into starting his own business to help fuel a 'sustainable marketplace'. So, congratulations and bravo. I look forward to the upcoming events and have already sent one potential new member your way" - Nicole Lazar, Non Member and first-time club goer.
