The SustainME entrepreneurship conference, co-hosted with The Island Institute on July 12, 2014, was a resounding success. 175 attendees from all of the unbridged islands but Matinicus, plus mainlanders from the length and breadth of the state, were inspired to hear stories of entrepreneurial success, many from island-based small businesses.

Many Chebeaguers worked hard, starting in late 2013, to attend to the numerous details and arrangements involved in putting on the event.
