Title: Energy Advocacy Beyond the Midwest: How the Culture of Wisconsin Influenced My Future
Description: My journey in advocacy was not always crowns and sparkles - sometimes, it was working with people who I thought I would never be able to convince. Becoming Miss America has taught me a thing or two about advocacy, and has taught me a thing or two about myself! However, I wouldn't be able to be the clean energy advocate that I am, nor Miss America, if it weren't for my Wisconsin upbringing. From a good work ethic, to a friendly demeanor, all the way to truly knowing the best cheese, all of these things have helped me with national advocacy. It's time to spend some time near home though and look at my roots: what is Wisconsin doing to move its energy portfolio forward, and how can we as Wisconsinites help?

Note: To accommodate the larger crowd, we’ll meet across the street in Room 1125 Deluca Biochemistry Building, 420 Henry Mall.
Accessibility Note: If you come in the front door of the Deluca Biochemistry Building on 420 Henry Mall, there’s a lot of steps to climb. But if you come in the back door at the southwest corner of the building, that door enters on the ground floor, and you can stroll or roll step-free to the elevator and up to the first floor.
