Education for a Healthy Planet.

 

Every month, IPPNWC hosts a speaker to share their expertise as part of our Speaker Series. Our meetings are designed for you to learn, be inspired, and support each other. Everyone is welcome, whether as an Active Member or an observer.

There are no fees and no additonal obligations. All we ask is that you bring your interest, experience, and enthusiasm whenever you can join.

The Speaker Series takes place on Zoom every second Wednesday of the month at 5 PM PST/ 8PM ET.
