May, 2008 — Hildegard Publishing has taken the "Philadelphia Green Office Pledge"! The Philadelphia Green Office Pledge identifies thirty things that every business can do to help save our earth. Even though Hildegard is a small business, we believe it's everyone's responsibility to help protect the environment. After all, the earth is home to all of us and if she's in trouble, we will all be in trouble. Here are a few ways we at Hildegard Publishing Company are doing our part to help save our precious earth.
 | We recycle all our office paper and reuse the second side wherever possible. We also recycle all cardboard packaging as well as plastics and of course glass containers. Wherever possible, we also purchase office supplies made from recycled materials. |
 | The electricity to our office is partially supplied from wind power and we have installed compact fluorescent bulbs to reduce our energy consumption. |
 | Whenever possible, we make shorter business errands on bicycle rather than by automobile. It saves gas and is much more enjoyable! |
Vice President, Nancy Hale, greets Festival attendees at the Hildegard table
March, 2008 — On March 29th, 2008, we were pleased to participate in the 8th Annual Women Composers Festival of Hartford Connecticut. Hildegard president, Elinor Armsby, was part of the panel addressing challenges and opportunities for women composers. In addition, Hildegard Publishing Company had a table with information and publications available for sale. Many attendees of the conference stopped by and we enjoyed meeting so many composers and performers interested in music by women composers.
Two concerts the same day featured a diverse selection of music by women composers from Connecticut and beyond. Of special note was the music of three international composers: Adriana Figueroa (Argentina). Francisca Aquino (Brazil) and Sebastiana Ierna (Sicily).
