NEWIEE Chapter Week: New Hampshire
Join us for a dynamic panel discussion and networking event exploring the vital role attorneys play in advancing renewable energy, navigating complex regulatory landscapes, and supporting responsible environmental stewardship. Featuring Sherry Young and Kat Hedges of Rath, Young & Pignatelli, this conversation will highlight how lawyers collaborate with businesses, communities, and government entities to move energy projects forward, ensure regulatory compliance, and thoughtfully balance development with environmental responsibility.
The evening will also include an opportunity to connect directly with the speakers, exchange ideas with peers, and continue the conversation about the evolving future of energy and environmental leadership.
