Women’s History Month
In honor of Women’s History Month, we are so happy to celebrate all of the talented, trailblazing women + non-binary folks working together for a clean resilient Charles River! Here are some reflections from our staff on what it means to be a woman working in water.
“Shoutout to all the amazing women working for cleaner water, healthier rivers, and more resilient communities as we face a changing climate. I feel fortunate to be part of this amazing cohort of unsung she-roes,” says Emily Norton, Executive Director.
"I'm proud to be able to speak up on water issues and work alongside other incredible women advocating, educating, and researching equitable solutions to the climate and water crisis," says Dira Johanif, Urban Resilience Advocate.
“The water sector has always been male-dominated, resulting in women's contributions being overlooked or undervalued. However, there is growing recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusion in the sector,” says Sarah Traore, Rita Barron Fellow. “As a woman working in the water, I am proud to be part of an industry that is constantly evolving and driving innovation. I am fortunate to have experienced and continue to experience the unique skills and perspectives that women bring to the table that help address complex water challenges.”
“Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with and learn from amazing women mentors, colleagues, and partners who are passionate about creating a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations,” says Heather Miller, General Counsel & Director of Operations.
