On Veterans Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the veterans who have served our country with courage and dedication. Today, we honor your sacrifices and the strength you bring to our communities. Your resilience and commitment continue to inspire, and we are grateful to have you among us. In honor of Veterans Day, B.O.S.S. board member Dr. Dorsey shares a powerful tribute to his father. "Veteran's Day is a remarkable day to honor, appreciate and remember the service and sacrifice of all veterans, past and present--during times of war and peace. It reminds me of my father's time and service on the road to Vietnam and beyond."

This week, B.O.S.S. Executive Director Dresden Farrand attended the WRISE Leadership Forum. In the company of industry trailblazers like Jetta Wong and Nicole Sitaraman from Federal Agencies, as well as Doseke Ajoiruaye, Executive Director of WRISE, and Constance Thompson, WRISE Board Member, Dresden had the opportunity to engage in impactful conversations on the future of sustainable engineering. #WRISE2024 Thank you for an excellent discussion, Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy (WRISE)!
