New Year's Resolution: Make an Impact at Work
Join us as we hear the inspirational journeys of Jacqueline Drumheller with Alaska Airlines and Derek Eisel with Expeditors. They will describe how they brought sustainable changes to their organizations even though it wasn't in their job description.

We are starting a local Impact at Work support group that can help you define a sustainability project in your company and advise you as you reach your goal.

About the Speakers: In 2008, Ms. Drumheller co-founded Alaska Airlines' corporate sustainabilityprogram. She raised awareness of the importance and value of environmental stewardship through the launch and leadership of a cross-divisional Green Team, which lead to a company-wide adoption of new "greener" business initiatives and strategies. In 2009, she completed Alaska Airgroup's first Corporate Environmental Responsibility Report. By institutionalizing sustainability and integrating environmental decisions into routine business decisions, Ms. Drumheller believes that businesses can improve their brand value and corporate image, increase employee engagement, cut costs, and reduce risks.
Ms. Drumheller is an enthusiastic public speaker who enjoys turning dry technical information into something simple, fun, and understandable.
