Nobody Rises Alone: Women Supporting Women
We are excited to announce the second annual Women In Biogas and RNG Luncheon that will take place during Biogas Americas on Wednesday, May 17.
This event is open to all women, under-represented genders, and their allies who are attending the conference. We want to celebrate those in the industry who work hard to ensure our voices are heard and help us to operate on equal footing as our counterparts.
The event will be hosted by Kavi Ramakrishnan, vice president of origination for Brightmark, a circular innovation company developing solutions focused on plastics renewal and anaerobic digestion. Kavi leads the origination team at Brightmark where she is responsible for expanding Brightmark’s project pipeline into organic waste recovery projects and originating greenfield RNG projects on dairy farms across the United States.
The keynote speaker for this event is Alexis Glick, CEO, Nature Energy, a global leader in biomethane and renewable energy. Glick is a veteran media and former Wall Street executive who is a frequent contributor to national and international news programs. Prior to Nature Energy, Glick was the CEO of GENYOUth, a youth wellness organization dedicated to creating healthy school communities by empowering students and providing the resources for youth to build healthy, high-achieving futures. Glick helped launch the FOX Business Network and previously served as anchor and national correspondent on NBC’s “Today Show” and CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” In addition to her executive responsibilities and enjoying her active role as mom to four kids, Glick serves on the Board of Directors for Schreiber Foods and Gabelli Asset Management (GAMCO). Glick is a graduate of Columbia University.
During the event, breakout sessions will take place, moderated by other women leaders in the industry. They will be discussing a number of topics that can help elevate women, including discussions around opportunities within the industry at large, as well as resources they have used to elevate their own careers.
Here is the list of breakout session moderators:
