SUMMARY:Climate Community Social Hour
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 24th for a special Climate Community Social Hour! For this event\, we are partnering with Clean Miami Beach\, a local registered 501c3 nonprofit organization founded by Miami Beach resident\, Sophie Ringel\, for a 1-hour cleanup of Manatee Bend Park before our social hour! \nAs this social hour we will be focusing on reducing waste\, we will also be featuring 2 guest speakers working towards solving pollution via scalable solutions and policy; Erika Gonzalez and Yadira Diaz. Thanks to the support of our Stage 1 SBA Growth Accelerator Fund Competition grant\, we’re able to come together for a night for interactive collaboration\, discussion\, and community building as well! We’ll also end the night with an asks & offers session to drive further collaboration across the community. \nAbout our speakers & featured event partner: \nErika Gonzalez is a Florida International University alum\, from where she received a B.S. in Hospitality and Tourism Management from the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management\, and a certificate in Environmental Studies.
