AND WE'RE DONE: Congrats & Next Steps :)

YOU DID IT!! Amazing work & SO excited for our team & judges to review submissions :)

So, WHAT'S NEXT? Key Things:

We're going to be giving a REVIEW OF ROUND 1 SUBMISSIONS over the Feb 24-28 week.
You'll be submitting the TEAM BONUS POINTS AND EVALUATION FORM by Feb 25th.
We'll be doing a last call for CERTIFICATION INTEREST (SO many peeps doing it BTW) on Feb 25.
We're debating whether to do ONE MORE NETWORKING SESH, likely in the Feb 26-28 range, as we loved connecting with y'all so much!
And then is the GRAND FINALS, scheduled for Sunday, March 2nd @ 10 AM EST = 3 PM GMT = 8:30 PM IST. Links on this to be sent later.
And then, WHO KNOWS? Some of you I expect will continue your project. Some will pivot. Some will use these learnings to grow as climate professionals on the frontlines of a green transition. Others will advocate for those principles but in their own spheres.

But ALL of you will be LEADERS, each in your unique and special ways. And it's because of that last fact that we will have HOPE and I believe a very real chance, in this climate fight.

And so, THANK YOU all again for giving your time. Your energy. Your experiences. Your passions. To addressing the most important existential crisis of our time. It has been great fun being a part of this community & am so especially grateful to our team, in our CCM lead Chenile, Corbin, Florence, Jessica & the 40+ mentors/ judges/ guests we had join, for making this happen.

Moving forward then,it will be a journey, not just for you CCM-ers. But for humanity as a whole. But TOGETHER, we can— we must— protect our too-beautiful & precious MOTHER EARTH.
