A supply chain is the entire process of making and selling commercial goods, including every stage from the supply of materials and the manufacture of goods through to their distribution and sale. Resilience of critical supply chains proactively allows organizations to withstand and quickly recover from incidents. This is the seventh event in the 2020-21 North Bay Forward "Building Resilience" monthly speaker series, a year-long conversation to increase community collaboration on resilience to climate change.

At each event, leaders working on local resilience projects talk about their work and discuss with the audience ways we can collaborate. Resilience can only be achieved through collaboration and authentic representation, and throughout we will focus on ensuring that those of us most affected by climate change have a voice at the table. 

Leaders

Discussion moderated by Kristin Cushman, Co-founder & CEO, EcoShift Consulting. Panelists include:

• Dr. Jean-Francois Coget, Dean, Sonoma State University - School of Business and Economics
• Courtney Scott, HHW Program Manager, Zero Waste Sonoma
• Paul Schiefer, Senior Director of Sustainability, Amy's Kitchen

This series is supported by the Center for Environmental Inquiry as part of Sonoma State University's President’s Climate Leadership Commitment. Sonoma State faculty and staff will discuss ways that SSU is interested in partnering to move us towards a more resilient future.

North Bay Forward is a collaborative initiative that harnesses the collective talent, vision, and experience of business, community, public sector and academic leaders to engage in the systemic change and collaboration needed to usher in a sustainable, resilient North Bay.
