Hi! I'm Michelle and I started Women and Climate NYC because I love networking, dining, and talking about climate! I attend a good amount of climate networking events in New York but I really wanted an experience where I could sit down, get to know the attendees in greater depth, make new friends (I'm new to NYC), and talk about my favorite subject (climate) as it pertains to career and personal life.

A key objective for me is to help and inspire more people to work on climate. We need every bit of brainpower we can get to help overcome our current challenge and everyone can work on climate. You don't need a special degree, you don't need prior experience, and you can start today in your current role, whatever that may be. I talk more about this in a recent webinar.

My goal is to continue organizing regular dinners, hopefully monthly, and also happy hours where more individuals can attend. Sponsors, speakers, sustainable goodies giveaways are all welcome. Have an idea? Reach out to me via LinkedIn!

Hello and thank you for being here! My name is Stephanie, and when I first heard about Michelle's dinners, I was immediately excited about it: I love nothing more than bringing people together over a shared purpose and see them empower each other to have an even bigger impact. Long story short, after attending my first dinner in March and having a great time, I offered to help build this community of amazing women.

I've spent the past five years of my professional career running accelerator programs as well as designing and implementing learning programs for startups and SMBs, currently at WeWork. I am super interested in learning more about all things sustainability and social impact, and couldn't ask for a better community to immerse myself in than this one. Last but not least, I love exploring the vegan food scene in New York, and a good meal tastes even better over a good conversation. Hope to see you at one of our upcoming dinners!
