In addition, she serves as Rural Development Manager for the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), is a Senior Fellow for the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, and sits on the Board of Directors for the Climate Reality Project and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Catherine uses her lens of leadership in environmental justice and climate change advocacy to inspire attendees with her innovation and experience.
