Women in Climate Dinner TONIGHT, Regen Ag Mixer, Shake Shack, and more
Hi all,
Great to see everyone in person last week! Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and made it our most attended meetup, with over 35 of us there.
This week is a lot lighter on in-person events, but Michelle Li is organizing a Women in Climate dinner tonight, if you’re free this evening.
Online, Work on Climate is organizing two events this week: one for PMs interested in helping with climate, the other a mixer for anyone interested in regenerative agriculture. They’re open to anyone, whether you’re in the Work on Climate slack or not. On Friday, NYU’s Climate Change Initiative is hosting three flash talks on climate change from professors in education, law, and the humanities.
We’ve got a full-spectrum of jobs this week: VP of Sustainability at Mejuri, Director of Protein Procurement and Sustainability at Shake Shack, and Project Lead, for Mobility Transformation at the World Economic Forum.
If you want any events, jobs, or other listings posted here, just let me know.
