Team

In 2006, something remarkable happened. It started with a few women, and then it grew. And it grew. And it grew. Today, WEA is a global alliance. We are advocates, entrepreneurs, cultural practitioners, trainers, technicians, artists, community organizers, who are banding together to ensure the long-term health of our planet.
