Midwest Climate Leaders Share Stories of People and Place
McKnight Foundation is proud to share five stories—from Alanna, Marnese, Rick, Sarah, and Casey—representing just a few of the voices shaping climate and energy solutions in the Midwest. Their journeys reflect the winding paths people often take to leadership. These narratives go beyond bios to reveal the personal “why” at the heart of the work.

"Peb tsis kam tso tseg txoj kev cia siab rau yav tom ntej, thiab tsis yog koj yuav tsum ... Peb lub ntiaj teb yuav muaj zog dua yog tias peb ntxiv dag zog ua ke. Peb lub neej yav tom ntej yuav zoo dua yog tias peb suav tag nrho peb cov kev cia siab. Yog li kuv caw koj ua siab loj, ua siab ntev, koom nrog peb."
