WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

In addition to Benitez’s address, Alex Boian, vice president of government affairs for the Outdoor Industry Association, will deliver a keynote presentation on the intersection of public policy and the outdoor industry. Outdoor manufacturers and retailers increasingly are becoming advocates of sound public policy on the environment, helping to drive debate and using their influence to affect public policy. Boian will discuss what is driving this new assertiveness on the part of the outdoor industry.

The two keynotes will be followed by 20 Ideas in 20 Minutes, with 20 outdoor-industry executives providing lightning-fast ideas on incorporating sustainability into manufacturing and retailing.

Breakfast is included in the ticket price for the event. Early-bird tickets can be purchased through Monday, Oct. 23, for $30, plus a processing fee. After that, ticket prices rise to $35, plus a processing fee. They can be purchased online.
