The Keynote Address was delivered by Rev. Dr. Durley, a celebrated pastor, psychologist, educator, motivational speaker, and activist. He combines the disciplines of faith and science with the lessons learned as a civil/human rights advocate from the 1960s. He asserts that for the environment to be saved, the educational, scientific, business, political, and faith communities must seek common solutions.

What are Attendees saying about the 2024 Annual Meeting?

“The session on community engagement and equitable access to resources and funding was very insightful. I enjoyed hearing from local community partners who experienced first-hand the effects of unequal access to resources and how communities in certain areas have unhealthy warehouse facilities in their backyards.”
