How can Alaska businesses realize value by integrating sustainability into everything they do? Kevin Wilhelm has insights and inspiration for us as we consider the challenges and opportunities inherent in today’s environmental and social business concerns. For more than 20 years, Kevin has led the way for government agencies and hundreds of businesses to engage in regenerative business practices and to increase their efficiencies and revenue while doing so. UAA’s College of Business and Public Policy is pleased to invite Kevin to Alaska for a free in-person lecture, “Optimizing Alaska Business with a Regenerative Mindset,” on March 30, 5:30 pm, at Rasmuson Hall on UAA’s campus.

Please join us for this important conversation, including:

  • What is a regenerative mindset, and why is it important to understand?
  • What are the risks, opportunities, and new regulatory and market requirements to address today’s largest environmental and social challenges?
  • How do we create business value and develop resilience across generations for the private sector to use sustainability to help diversify our economy?
  • How does a just and regenerative mindset apply in Alaska – specifically in resource extraction, tourism, professional services, and finance?
  • How do we incorporate sustainable business practices that protect Alaska’s reputation as a responsible steward of our natural resources and environment?

This event is part of the University of Alaska’s Just & Regenerative Business in Alaska three-lecture series, made possible by the Educational Legacy Fund.
