Powering People for a Healthy Environment

​Join us for a discussion about pursuing fairness, transparency, and inclusivity in environmental decision-making. Diverse perspectives from nonprofits, academia, and government will look at how people can have a genuine voice, clear access to information, and meaningful influence in shaping policies before final choices are made for our water and air.

​This 1-hour discussion with 5 speakers will be followed by a 1-hour reception hosted by nonprofit Brightline, and will also support networking association ARISE SD.

​This event is free and open to the public – any community members and students interested in local environmental issues and policy are welcome!  Registration will also come with a free tote bag with a special ocean art design (as long as supplies last, seats are limited). Once venue capacity is reached, you may join the waitlist, which will begin moving prior to the event.

​One email per registration, please.
