Leadership

Scott Sklar serves as part-time Executive Director of the Center for Small Business and the Environment (CSBE) which was founded in 1995 by noted environmentalist Byron Kennard as a sub-project of The Tides Foundation. Sklar assumed the role when the founder retired in 2012 and when CSBE received its own IRS(C)(3) designation.

CSBE published Small Wonders, a report on emerging green businesses, and Mr. Sklar, an Adjunct Professor at The George Washington University (teaching two unique interdisciplinary courses on sustainable energy) lectures, mentors, and reviews business plans on emerging green businesses.

CSBE accepts interns to develop study papers on all aspects of green entrepreneurship and human innovation, and supports writers, analysts, artists, advocates, and educators on the value of green small businesses to our society, economy, security, environment, and human well-being.
