The Hope Summit is a forum for ideas and solutions. The Carolina Ocean Alliance believes in the importance of a community-driven approach that prioritizes local voices, local knowledge, and community co-governance in the interconnected efforts to create a brighter future for our local communities and for our planet. By giving ordinary people agency to shape the future they want for themselves, their families, and their communities, we can create a vibrant future fueled by hope.
The Hope Summit Conference is an opportunity for the global community of solutions creators, practitioners, and accelerators to exchange knowledge, experience, and best practices to strengthen community-driven solutions in the South Carolina Lowcountry and around the world. The conference includes a mainstage speaker series, themed short talk blocks, workshops, mentorship sessions, and opportunities for networking.
I am excited to be a panelist on the “Building a Community of Stewards Through Citizen Science” panel at the Hope Summit 2023 Conference on Saturday, 9/30 at 9:45 AM at the College of Charleston School of Sciences, Mathematics & Engineering (202 Calhoun St, Charleston), which will be a candid discussion on the importance of citizen science in conservation, education, and community resilience with an emphasis on the breadth of ways to engage community members.
