Honoring Wangari Maathai
I was deeply saddened to learn that an extraordinary woman, a passionate advocate for human rights and the environment, has passed away. Professor Wangari Muta Maathai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, dedicated her life to empowering women and promoting democracy and peace with a focus on sustainable development. We are honored that Professor Maathai served on our Board of Directors.
You made today a success
