Event Description

***  

Monday, March 30th, 2020 from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM
This event will now be held remotely through Zoom web conferencing

IMPORTANT UPDATE: In response to COVID-19, this panel is being revised for an online setting. Built Environment Plus debated postponing this event (again) because we believe that the face-to-face networking that happens at Women in Green is such a critical part of the panel. On the other hand, quarantine and social distancing has left many of us feeling isolated–the staff at Built Environment Plus and the panelists believe that now, more than ever, we are in need of stories of courage. 

The panel is still scheduled to happen on March 30th, but will be completely remote and will occur from 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM. To make up for the lack of in-person networking, Built Environment Plus will host a social event later in the year that will be complimentary to all Women in Green: Culture of Courage registrants.

*** 

This event is for professionals to network and connect with leaders in the field, promote women’s leadership across the environmental and built environment industry, and to channel our efforts to build a better world where all people have equal access to and are involved in leadership and decision-making.

At Women in Green 2019 we will share examples of when we’ve been courageous and hear from a panel of women as they discuss their own journeys and the need to be fearless.

Enjoy breakfast as we center ourselves and envision how together we can heal the planet.

 

**Women in Green: Culture of Courage was originally scheduled for December 3rd, 2019, but was rescheduled.
