In the face of devastation, we find strength-not just to endure, but to rebuild. Join us for an inside look at one woman’s journey through Hurricane Helene and the recovery efforts of her nonprofit, Mountain Valleys Resource Conservation and Development Council.<\/p>\n

Along the way, we’ll meet other inspiring women in Marshall, North Carolina, who are rebuilding their lives and community. Through the lens of the Council’s work, we’ll explore the pivotal role of natural resource management in fostering resilience to future disasters. This talk also offers a personal reflection on a career path in conservation.<\/p>\n
