Hi Greentown Community,

Happy Monday, Greentown! I hope you’ve had a great July and are gearing up for August—this summer has really flown by!

With the fall (quickly) approaching, we're excited that two of our biggest events are on the horizon: our Boston Career Fair on September 11 (sign-up to table here by August 29) and Climatetech Summit on Nov. 6. In the meantime, if you'd like to feature open positions, submit your job postings on this page to be featured in the quarterly Careers in Climatetech newsletter by August 21! (Password: climatefightdaynight).

Climate Week NYC is also coming up fast. If you're planning to participate, speak, or host an event, please let us know. We'd love to highlight your involvement across our community and external channels. Please slack or email Ananyaa Mehra with the details.

Check out the full lineup of events below and feel free to reach out with any questions!
