SUMMARY:EBC's A Great Bay Estuary Update: Permitting and Regulatory Impacts
DESCRIPTION:This EBC New Hampshire webinar will provide an overview and update on a new and cutting-edge NPDES General Permit that is likely to be used as model in the future for estuaries receiving effluent from multiple publicly owned treatment works (“POTW”).  The program will focus on the health of the Great Bay Estuary and the Great Bay Total Nitrogen General Permit issued in 2021 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in coordination with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (“NH DES”) and 13 POTWs that discharge to Great Bay.    The Total Nitrogen General Permit is the first of its kind in the New England Region and sets important goals for enhancing and restoring the health of the Great Bay Estuary.  This program will: (1) outline the current health of the Great Bay estuary\, (2) summarize the complex permitting aspects that regulate discharges into this unique Estuary of National Significance\, (3) discuss future State and federal permitting goals for the Estuary\, and (4) assess potential impacts that the new regulatory requirements have on local municipalities\, industries\, and businesses. \nDuring the program\, you will learn about the scientific\, legal\, and regulatory foundations of the General Permit and how it will be implemented.  You will hear different perspectives from the EPA\, NH DES\, the Conservation Law Foundation\, regulated municipalities\, and impacted businesses. \nA robust panel discussion with the audience will conclude the webinar.

SUMMARY:WEN's The "GET BACK ON TRACK" Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Derailed?: Identifying and Addressing the Internal and External Barriers to Women’s Success in the Energy Industry After COVID \nIt’s time to get back! Back on T.R.A.C.K. that is\, with some Tenacity\, Resiliency\, Adaptability\, Community and Knowledge – and have fun doing it! Do you want to learn real\, actionable steps to deal with career barriers specific to women? How about earning CPE/CLE* credit? How about a bit of networking while sipping a fancy cocktail delivered right to your front door? \nWomen in every industry across the world felt like the train of their life and career had jumped the tracks the moment COVID hit. Yet\, for many women in the energy space this upheaval isn’t completely new. Women have been facing struggles with childcare\, nerve-wracking downturns\, and uncertainty about the future of our industry off and on for decades. The challenges of COVID exacerbated the pre-existing barriers to women’s success\, as manifested in unequal pay and stress at home and work. \nThe “Get Back on Track” Symposium will conveniently occur over two successive evenings to fit into your busy schedule: \nTuesday\, September 21 – How Did We Get Here? \nLearn from a moderated presentation and discussion with experts in the field of equal pay legal issues and gender diversity barriers\, as well as female executives who support women’s success every day. \nWednesday\, September 22 – Let’s Get Back on Track! \nParticipate in a training on mental fitness\, hosted by the esteemed Dimension Leadership Group\, where we will learn to thrive and lead through uncertain and turbulent times with greater tenacity\, resiliency\, and adaptability for your peak performance. WEN Foundation speakers will also touch on the importance of community and knowledge.

SUMMARY:Green Energy Consumers Alliance's How to Advocate for EV Charging in your Community
DESCRIPTION:If you live in an apartment building or condo\, your ability to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) might be limited by lack of access to a charging station. Your building owner or homeowners association might say that not enough people want EV charging\, or that they lack the resources to start planning for EV charging. What can you do about it as a resident? This webinar will help you identify next steps and strategies to help get EV charging installation on the agenda for your building or homeowners association. The webinar will help you figure out whether other people in your community are interested in EVs\, how to start educating decision-makers about the benefits of EV charging\, and how to take advantage of the financial incentives that are available to install a station. With these resources\, you can start an important conversation and generate momentum to get your community onboard.

She is pleased to advance the mission of this minority-serving\, non-profit technical college based in Boston\, MA. This role is an exciting return to higher education administration for Dr. Francis\, who began her career as a college lecturer and adjunct professor after completing her terminal degree in English Literature from Vanderbilt University. The entirety of her professional career has centered on increasing access to higher education although she worked across various fields and populations over the past 20 years. Aisha is an educator at heart with broad-based experience in philanthropy\, marketing\, and communications. She believes in the collective ability of healthy organizations and well-supported individuals to transform underserved communities. Leadership roles in board relations and governance\, strategic planning\, and resource development have underscored her ability to develop trusted relationships and implement programs with significant impact. \n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n		\n		\n			\n		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Annelies Goger\, Ph.D.\nDavid M. Rubenstein Fellow\nMetropolitan Policy Program\, Brookings \n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n						Read Annelies' Bio		\n	\n	\n		Annelies Goger\, Ph.D. is an economic geographer focused on developing innovative policy solutions to address rising inequality and increase access to economic opportunity. Dr. Goger’s recent work investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the hospitality industry in the U.S.\, how to fix the unemployment insurance safety net\, and how to increase access to quality jobs and investments in talent to foster ongoing learning and innovation. She is an expert in U.S. workforce development policy\, global supply chains\, and inclusive economic development. Dr. Goger’s work has been prominently featured in CNN\, NPR\, Washington Monthly\, the Hill\, and a number of local outlets and podcasts. \nDr. Goger’s work has challenged the dominant “skills gap” narrative\, arguing that building stronger education and labor market institutions and making long-term investments in talent development are the key to unleashing regional innovation and addressing racial and gender inequities in the labor market. Her vision is to build an education and training ecosystem with multiple paths to a quality job that is designed around the needs of a diverse set of learners\, workers\, and employers. Dr. Goger has outlined state policy frameworks to scale earn-and-learn opportunities such as apprenticeship and other forms of employer-based training. \nDr. Goger’s current research focuses on digital transformation in labor and education data systems\, the employer role in talent development\, state credentialing policies that recognize diverse forms of learning\, and closing the opportunity gap for displaced hospitality workers and returning citizens. She is a member of the Better Employment and Training Strategies task force\, a coalition of more than 40 workforce experts and practitioners that focuses on modernizing America’s outdated and inequitable workforce policies. \nBefore coming to Brookings\, Dr. Goger spent more than 10 years conducting field research to evaluate American workforce development and food security programs at Social Policy Research Associates and IMPAQ International. Her doctoral research focused on the links between global supply chains\, ethical trade initiatives\, production processes\, and inclusive growth. Dr. Goger was a Fulbright scholar in Sri Lanka and Social Science Research Council Fellow.
