Women’s Environmental Leadership in Santa Barbara, CA
July 29-30, 2019

Situated between the Los Padres National Forest, a fertile valley of centuries-old farmland and vineyards, and a sparkling stretch of Pacific coastline, Santa Barbara has become a hub of environmental innovation, and women are leading the way. Join your fellow funders to meet the local women philanthropists, scientists, and community leaders who are pursuing groundbreaking climate solutions, especially in the fields of ocean and forest conservation, and sustainable agriculture.

Registration for members and invited guests is now open. Email Jamie for more information.

Pollution is the leading cause of death worldwide, taking more than nine million lives each year, yet it is one of the most under-funded global issues. Join Pure Earth’s President Richard Fuller and its pollution experts: Lara Crampe, Drew McCartor, and Judith St. Fort to learn about their efforts to reduce pollution and its migration by improving toxic practices and cleaning up contaminated sites in low- and middle-income countries.

To participate in this webinar, RSVP to Jamie.

Join Members Kim Milligan and Abi Rome, American Rivers, and Washington Women’s Foundation to celebrate the success of the modern dam removal movement with a moderated panel and day trip to North Puget Sound. A dam in the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River has blocked salmon and steelhead for nearly 70 years, and after efforts between the city of Bellingham, local indigenous communities, American Rivers, and philanthropic partners, the dam will finally be removed in 2020. Guests will hear from the leaders instrumental in this project and enjoy a reception in Bellingham.

At our 2019 Fall Retreat, we’ll learn about environmental issues facing the South, enjoy the natural beauty of the Piedmont region, and take part in honest and invigorating conversations about environmental justice and climate change in a rapidly-growing city rich with culture and history.

We’ll explore how the city has repurposed its industrial past into a vibrant incubator of ideas and innovation. We’ll also have opportunities to visit historic civil rights landmarks, repurposed industrial spaces, and Durham’s critically-acclaimed foodie scene.

Durham is the ideal urban retreat location to engage in essential dialogue, indulge in self-renewal, and continue to elevate women leaders to tackle hard-hitting environmental issues.
