Lewis Center Sustainability Exchange

The Lewis Center Sustainability Exchange is a regularly scheduled series of virtual convenings designed to facilitate learning and networking and spark thought and conversation around topics relating to healthy, resilient, sustainable, and thriving places.
 

Hosted by Lewis Center staff, each 90-minute Exchange will feature expert guest speakers, Q&A, time for small group breakouts, and a larger group discussion with resource sharing.
 

If you have found value in the Net Zero Exchange, Building Healthy Places Book Club, and other Lewis Center networking and knowledge sharing opportunities, we hope you will find this series beneficial. The Exchange will provide an opportunity for members who are interested and committed to these topics to learn, share, and connect with each other in an ongoing way.
 

The exchange is free to members, with a fee of $75 for non-members.
