I participated in a panel yesterday at the National Sustainability Society’s (NSS) 2024 National Conference, which is taking place on the University of Washington’s beautiful campus in Seattle. It was a privilege to share the stage (or, in our case, a table in front of a classroom!) with my co-panelists, Meghan Fay Zahniser from AASHE, Krista Hiser from the National Sustainability Society, and our very own Board of Directors member, Meghan Chapple.
We chatted between ourselves and the attendees about how we think about designing our respective societies, associations, and networks to best accomplish climate and sustainability goals.
One takeaway was that we need to challenge higher education’s current models for training, educating, and credentialing students if we want to see them make big changes in the world on these topics. There were lots of exciting ideas, and we look forward to putting them into action in the months ahead.
