WHAT IS A SOLUTIONS SALON?

Dialogue. Inspiration. Community. A “Solutions Salon” is more than your typical panel discussion. It’s a chance to ask hard questions and deal thoughtfully with some of Oakland’s biggest problems... and opportunities. For this event, we'll be discussing "Green-Collar" jobs: Can Oakland become a national leader in providing living-wage jobs in environmentally friendly enterprises? Join us and be part of the solution!
