I volunteer with Illinois Green to make a small difference in our local community with fellow environmentally-minded people. I seek to do my part to bring the resources and influence Illinois Green possesses to elevate and support our fellow community members in their efforts to make a healthier, greener, and more equitable community for all. Through this opportunity, I also seek to bring Illinois Green out of traditional industry silos and into the community to foster interest in the climate, health, energy, environmental and entrepreneurial disciplines as well as recruit individuals from groups that have historically been underrepresented or unrepresented in Illinois Green's membership and programmatic focuses to serve on the Auxiliary Board.
