Happy New Year from SSDN — and Happy 1-Year Anniversary to Us! ✨
As we welcome 2026, we’re also celebrating a meaningful milestone: Jan. 1 marked our first full year as an official 501(c)(3). This past year has been filled with growth, collaboration, and momentum, and we’re deeply grateful to our members and partners who made it possible.
We hope each of you is returning from the winter break feeling rested, restored, and ready to change the world for good. We certainly are.
And we’re stepping into the year with so much to look forward to:
🌱 New workgroups ready to dig into shared challenges and opportunities
🎙️ New updates and episodes coming to the Green Minds podcast
🤝 State-focused gatherings, including our Florida meeting in Jacksonville this February
🌎 Our Annual Meeting in Tampa, where we’ll come together to learn, connect, and build regional impact
✨ The fresh leadership of our new Executive Director, Rob Phocas, guiding SSDN into its next chapter
Thank you for being part of this incredible community. Your dedication to resilience, equity, and climate action strengthens our region every day and we’re honored to support your work.
Here’s to a year of connection, collaboration, and meaningful change. 💛
