As changemakers, environmentalists, and women, how can wilderness experiences and adventures help us to be more creative and effective in our careers?

Join WEN at SF Environment for networking and a talk by board member Christine Sculati on living a life of adventure.

Inspired by an August 2016 journey from Mount Whitney to Yosemite Valley on the John Muir Trail, Christine will present slides from the 220-mile trail and other awe-inspiring wilderness destinations in the High Sierra and Yosemite, where she has backpacked and climbed for over 20 years.

Featured Speaker: Christine Sculati is a nonprofit consultant, writer and board member for the Women’s Environmental Network. She works with environmental, educational and social justice organizations and consults and writes on topics of philanthropy, conservation, outdoor education, nonprofit journalism and social justice. She brings over two decades of professional experience in the public, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors to her consulting practice and specializes in working with nonprofits facing a transitional stage of growth. She helps organizations to improve program approaches and develops grant proposals, case statements and other communications that support marketing and resource development.
