In case you missed our first of its kind “2024 Climate Stocktake and Networking Event” on April 24th at the Waterfire Arts Center in Providence, please check out some photos showcasing the amazingly talented expert keynotes and speaker panels, as well as the countless business and community leaders who came out for both educational purposes and to network with some of the area’s top leaders. Our Co-Founder Jason E. Dodier, delivered compelling opening remarks, underscoring ecological principles and the urgent need for collective action against climate change.
This event aimed to bring together like-minded and diverse business and community leaders who are passionate about addressing climate change and creating a more sustainable future for Rhode Island and beyond – and I believe we did just that!
