Greening the Meeting

Release Date: Monday, June 2nd 2008

After winning the International Hotel & Restaurant Association Environmental Award for Hospitality Sustainable Development last year, the Willard InterContinental Hotel (1401 Pennsylvania Avenue) is still making waves on the eco-friendly front. Recently, using money it collected via carbon footprint offset efforts, the hotel donated five trees to the National Park Service’s National Capital Region Cherry Tree Replacement Fund. It also has unveiled Willard Green Meeting, a multi-optional, eco-conscious meeting structure that embraces environmental considerations throughout all stages of the meeting, from food and supplies to amenities and team-building eco-activities. Never a dull moment. Planners can access the Green Meeting Guide at www.washington.intercontinental.com.
