Sustainable Surplus Participates in "Carlsbad, Love It!"

CEO Sue Prelozni speaks about Passion

Sustainable Surplus participated in the second annual Carlsbad Love It! – Neighborhoods Empowerment Conference.  The theme this year was “Working Together to Build & Sustain Healthy Neighborhoods.”

SSE’s founder and CEO, Sue Prelozni, presented with City of Carlsbad Community Coordinator Housing and Neighborhood Services, Sue Irey, on “Taking Your Passion to Action,” to support your community. Their workshop focused on how someone may take an idea that they are passionate about and create an organization.  Much of the subject matter was based upon Ms. Prelozni’s experience in creating Sustainable Surplus.
