Innovation Islands: Netwalk in Nature – A Peddocks Island Adventure
The Boston Harbor Women of Color Coalition (BHWOCC) and Professionals of Color in the Environment (POCIE) are collaborating for Netwalk in Nature on September 6th on Peddocks Island!
Netwalk in Nature is a professional development experience like no other! Join to connect directly from folks at the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the National Parks Service, Massport and more while they take us around the island and share their professional experience and insights working on the water. You can also look forward to an engaging and relevant workshop with POCIE CoFounder Nia Keith, discussing strategies to navigate white dominated office spaces.
This event is perfect for folks who are eager to learn more about the vast array of career opportunities and connections in the outdoors, people looking to network with both BHWOCC and POCIE members, and those looking to enjoy nature alongside other passionate people of color.
Please bring a blanket or beach chair to use for seating, and comfortable clothes for walking and standing. Light snacks and refreshments will be served on the boat rides to and from the island, with lunch served mid-day. Bug spray and sunscreen will be provided all day.
