Change Agent Connections IRL Happy Hour

Think speed dating, but for meaningful relationships with other amazing women changing the world. This event, hosted by Women in CSR and Girls Club Collective founder Lis Best, is designed to create community and connection for women* who care about sustainability and social impact and are working to build a better future through your work.

If you identify as a change agent, this is for you!

*If you consider yourself a woman changing the world, we consider you a woman changing the world. Period. That said, we also appreciate that gender is a social construct and not binary. We are borrowing the definition of women from Pooja Lakshmin, MD. In Real Self-Care, she quotes Silvia Federici, who said, "To me it has always been mostly in terms of a political category." Pooja goes on to write, "I use the word women inclusively to mean all people who suffer under the oppressive conditions that have typically been associated with the female sex, which includes queer folks, trans and nonbinary people, and intersex and agender people." 

Tickets are free; you'll have the opportunity to purchase food + drinks on-site.

MORE About Me

I helped take the sustainability initiative at a Fortune 200 company from a single paragraph copy-pasted from something that got legal approval once upon a time to a full-on program featured on conference stages and in classrooms. I’ve consulted with companies whose products you use daily, and I’ve worked behind the scenes to build an impact program at the nation's most-hated and fastest-growing company (guesses?!). 

I'm a firm believer in embracing the idea that it gets to feel good while you do it. (And not just once it’s done.)

I’ve been in the roles you’re in now — tasked with creating systems, organizations, and products that help people make good choices, battling outdated ways of thinking, and desperately wishing the island you’re on came with a cute one-piece and a bottle or two of bubbly.

and I'm your secret weapon.
