BE+ also announced the new Board Members and the BE+ community would like to congratulate and give a warm welcome to Hessann Farooqi (Boston Climate Action Network), Julian Groenendaal (Thornton Tomasetti), and Jennifer Lawrence (Hideo Sasaki Foundation). Additionally, we would like to congratulate the re-elected board members Kate Bubriski, Sarah Michelman, and Jacob Knowles.

As we bid farewell to 2024, we would like to thank our departing Board Member Axel Jeremie for his dedication, passion, and invaluable contributions. A tree will be planted in his honor, along with 90 others in honor of our volunteers who make our community so special.

Congratulations to the award winners, new board members, and everyone continuing their hard work. Here’s to a year of furthering our success and progress within the BE+ community!
