About CEF
Who We Are
The Connecticut Environmental Forum (CEF) is an organization which provides a forum for environmental professionals to share and exchange information and experiences on environmental matters, and to learn about the latest issues regarding environmental regulation. CEF was founded by a small group of environmental professionals seeking a way to acquire accurate regulatory knowledge in a timely fashion. As professionals we need to continually make contacts with others to further our expert knowledge and broaden our understanding of environmental issues.
​
What We Do
Our core mission is to educate our members on the important environmental issues that affect their community and career. CEF strives to help our members:
​
√ Keep up with environmental regulations
√ Improve your professional network
​√ Gain continuing environmental education opportunities
