For 15 years, the Sustainability Symposium has united regional leaders who are committed to creating sustainable, healthy, and equitable communities. As we navigate ongoing challenges to meeting this commitment, we are reminded of the crucial role our collective efforts play in overcoming these obstacles.
Through in-depth discussions, exclusive tours, and inspiring speakers, we’ll explore real-world solutions that move us closer to a sustainable future.
We invite you to join us alongside organizations that have been at the forefront of this work; Together, we’ll continue to shape a future that centers the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and our region.
