About your hosts: Events are hosted by the Chicago Climate Connect team - Mackenzie Siren, Matt Pryor, Michael Boeke, and Sunil Mahadeshwar. We are climate-minded Chicagoans who are members of different global online climate communities like Work On Climate, Terra.do, MCJ Collective, and ClimateAction.tech. We saw a need to build a local bridge between these communities and bring other local Chicago groups into the discussion.
