In addition, the C3 Marketing Committee members, John Stautner and Michele Buckingham, facilitated a discussion with sponsors on ways in which C3 supporters might engage and participate in advancing C3 principles to their members and to the community. The Marketing Committee will be working with the C3 Executive Committee to provide collateral materials to educate the industry about C3 and will be creating a press kit to facilitate communications.
