Behavior Energy Climate Conference (BECC)

If you're going to be in Washington, DC this December or already plan on attending the BECC conference, join me for a fun and interactive workshop on Storytelling, Engagement, and Activism for social change (SEAchange). It will be held on Sunday, December 7 just before the conference kick-off from 1:30 p.m.-4:00p.m and I'm excited to be joined by Allison Cook from The Story of Stuff Project. The workshop is limited to only 25 participants, however, anyone can attend!  See the flier below for more details. 

Additionally, Allison and I will be leading the opening dessert reception at BECC with a fun storytelling activity and I'll be giving a talk on UCI's FloodRISE project Monday morning.
