In late September, we launched ASI's Members Network, bringing together sustainability professionals to support each other in stewarding sustainable change within their organizations. We're so proud of the community we've created and all the wonderful practitioners who have joined. If you're considering becoming a part of this network please reach out to us if you have any questions.
We had the chance to ask members Carol Aziz and Brandon Lewis about all things sustainability and leadership in our first two member spotlights! Check out their interviews below. 👇

This members-only event will focus on how we can overcome this challenge by discussing various ways to cultivate joy while taking action against climate change, where tensions may arise in cultivating joy, and how joy is a part of supporting our personal resilience to continue to show up to our work.

Key Takeaways from Our Let's Talk Leadership Event
We had the pleasure of teaming up with Unconform to co-host a discussion on the intersections of gender, climate, and design. Our intention was to emphasize that the climate crisis is far from being gender-neutral and that solely focusing on climate change without recognizing its connection to gender runs the risk of exacerbating the social inequalities faced by women, girls, trans- and non-binary people.
The blog includes a handy list of resources to help you prioritize gender considerations in climate action programs!
