Eighth Fire Green Jobs Conference

Annie Humphrey, award-winning singer and songwriter, joined the Thursday Morning show to discuss the Eighth Fire Green Jobs Conference! It isn't just a job fair- it's a place to go to be inspired, think about how you want to participate in building a more sustainable society, or just want to tweak your career. Annie, Kari, and Heidi discuss the breadth of green jobs: teachers, financial advisors, musicians, elder care workers, and more can fit into the green jobs category! Keynote speakers include Chef Sean Sherman (The Sioux Chef), Robert Blake of Solar Bear, and Will Steger (polar explorer and creator of the documentary “After Antarctica”). The daytime session runs 9 am-3 pm, and the evening portion is scheduled from 6 pm-9 pm. Learn more and register here!

Charlie Mitchell (she/they) joined KAXE in February of 2022.
