How did Waste Wise initially connect with WEN?
Waste Wise Senior Sustainability Specialist, Michelle Palm, is a board member of the Women’s Environmental Network and brought to my attention all the great work that WEN does and thought it would be a good fit.
What was the motivation to become an annual sponsor of WEN?
MN Waste Wise believes in supporting professional groups that our team members are involved in. After speaking with Michelle about WEN and how passionate she is towards WEN’s mission, it was obvious that this was a perfect fit.
