The Forum of Women in the Environmental Field is a professional organization for women with careers in the environmental field; both public and private sectors in Minnesota since 1989. We are a non-profit organization.  Join The Forum to build personal and professional networks and promote a better understanding of an individual's role in preserving and improving the environment.

The Forum of Women in the Environmental Field:

  • Provides current information on environmental topics,
  • Builds personal and professional networks,
  • Encourages and supports women, and
  • Promotes a better understanding of an individual's role in preserving and improving the environment.

The Forum sponsors six events a year on topics related to the environment or environmental careers. Recent topics have included:

  • Women's role in politics

Speakers are drawn from a pool of local and national figures working in a variety of environmentally-related fields.
