30th Anniversary Fall Retreat

About

At this year's Fall Retreat, we will share some of Seattle’s stories. We will explore the relationships linking urban and rural areas. We will consider the role of cities in nurturing connections, fostering equity and sustainability, and leading the way to the world we want.

As this year marks EGA’s 30th anniversary, we will celebrate our progress, acknowledge our failures and fears, and lean into our hopes for the next 30 years. We will break bread, and we will dance. But mostly we will gear up. If this past year has taught us anything, it’s that the future remains unwritten. Let’s write the future we want.

Please take a moment to peruse the draft agenda on the sidebar. While there are many highlights to point out already, one of the most exciting pieces is our confirmed lineup of featured speakers. Former UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres, Youth activist Aji Piper, climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, pediatrician + nature champion Dr. Nooshin Razani, Seattle-based social justice/nonprofit blogger Vu Le, and former Greenpeace International Executive Director Kumi Naidoo are among those confirmed to join us.
