In May 2008, Womentum and The Nature Conservancy hosted the inaugural Women’s Conference on Sustainability in Jackson Hole. Through a unique format designed to capture women’s voices, the conference aimed to:
- Educate and inspire participants about the work of prominent women leaders in fields of environmental sustainability.
- Renew women’s commitment to work related to sustainability.
- Strengthen women’s professional networks.
The conference began a dialog among women who are working toward environmental sustainability through the arts, science, conservation, faith, communications and politics. Participants discussed real ways to unite environmental grassroots activism and make immediate impact. They are continuing their conversations online at www.womensustain.com.
