Our upcoming Office Hours will be hosted with Nicole Jackson on April 12th. This event is open to all, but going forward will be a regular event exclusive to Diversity in Sustainability Circle members! Our Office Hours are designed for you to hear from a seasoned sustainability professional and for you to personally ask them questions in an intimate, virtual setting.
Over an hour, Nicole will provide an overview of her career in sustainability and answer any questions you might have related to your career.
