Welcome to the C3SN website & resource center

C3SN is the Central Coast of California's only professional network dedicated to restorative and responsible commerce, sustainable business development, and 'green' capitalism, providing networking and co-learning opportunities.

Our formal purpose is "to facilitate and accelerate the development of businesses and industries with sustainability at their core." See About C3SN for our history, co-founders, and Board members.

We hold regular member events at a variety of locations in the Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz County region.

If there are questions, or to register to attend an upcoming meeting, please contact Daniel Robin at register@cccsn.net
or by calling (831) 761-0700.

CSN has a tradition of convening and inspiring group to start projects and businesses as spin-offs of this network. If you have a business idea or a company that could benefit from this type of collaboration, contact us to discuss the possibilities.

Special Learning Opportunity: Water Management and Conservation (from April 05 event), self-guided tour of panelist presentations.

About our events: CSN has met the first Monday of every other month since February 2002. An average of 32 people have attended each meeting, with representatives from all sectors, including businesses of all sizes, news and media, government, venture capital, not-for-profit organizations, students and faculty, and others.

The style of meetings is informal, but structured: individual presentations, questions, sometimes brainstorming or idea sharing, dialogue and discussion. We encourage participation within the stated purpose of each meeting and the group's charter. In addition, we allow time for informal networking and more formal "offers and requests" are captured from individual members and represented organizations.

Currently, our regular meetings are free of cost, and we always appreciate it when members bring food or drink to share. Our only request is that you preregister so we can prepare our host for the number of people likely to attend.
