Co_Invest Cleantech 2019
A few years back, we brought you 37 reasons not to have an all male panel. It featured an inspiring list of female industry leaders, all of whom could serve as phenomenal additions to a variety of event panels and speaking engagements.
The list continues to be one of our most-read blog posts of all time, which leads us to believe that you found it just as inspiring as we did. With that in mind, we thought you might like to have 37 MORE reasons to diversify your panels.
Check out this list below, which is just a small sampling of the many, many incredible women who support the fight against climate change through science, innovation, commercialization, partnerships, and advocacy. We are proud to recognize their impact, and hope their voices become even more elevated throughout the industry and beyond.
