Our C.E.O. Christine Diploma joined the Golub Capital Nonprofit Board Fellows Network National Symposium, hosted at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management last week.

This was the second-ever national gathering of the Golub Capital Board Fellows programs across the participating business schools. The symposium was designed to deepen the pool of impactful nonprofit board members while fostering collaboration between business schools to advance meaningful social impact. The convening included networking, peer learning, and collaborative discussion with constituents from across the country. 

Nordson Green Earth has had the privilege to work with several fantastic Golub Fellows like William (pictured) over the last two years. They have been immensely helpful to us! Thank you to for supporting this amazing program!

We had an amazing turnout at Southland Green Drinks last week!

Nick Paarlberg from the Sand Ridge Nature Center gave a fun and interactive talk on the basics of birdwatching.

He was followed by our Chief Health and Engagement Officer Dr. Rao, who introduced the Markham Public Library Birdwatching Community Science Project—a chance for community members to use free apps .bird.id and and log the birds they see at the path. (Swipe through to see our flyer with all the details!)

We also heard about many other local environmental initiatives taking place especially the Harvey Beautification & Community Empowerment Program—a hands‑on initiative designed to uplift neighborhoods and strengthen community in shaping a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant Harvey. The initiative is led by the inspiring Ms. Pamesha Robinson, Coordinator of the Harvey Neighborhood Network.

Nordson Green Earth is proud to support Harvey through a native plant giveaway with seed funding provided by the National Academy of Medicine Climate Communities Network

Special thanks to our Advisory board member Dave Ward for planning this fantastic event and to our Intern Emma Zhu for throwing together an amazing flyer on short notice!

Our Youth Volunteer Board did a great job at the Markham public library S.T.E.A.M fest this afternoon. They explained our “citizen” science birding initiative and how we are using community-engaged data collection to show how creating native habitats invites biodiversity. Anyone can use the free apps and to help out! Reach out if you’re interested or have questions! 🐦

After the event we had a chance to visit the Prairie Path and admire the bird-friendly chokeberries and Aster.
