In Memoriam
We hold deep gratitude for the visionary leaders on our Leadership Board whose lives and legacies continue to guide this work. Their contributions to environmental stewardship, justice, and women’s leadership have left an enduring imprint on the world—and on WEA’s journey. Though they are no longer with us, their wisdom lives on in the movements they helped shape and the futures they dared to imagine.
