(Dow Fellows Program 2021)

The Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance (GLBRA) launched a Sustainability Pledge in the spring of 2021 to provide a framework for regional organizations to move toward a more sustainable future, and to improve the quality of life in Midland, Saginaw, Isabella, and Bay counties. A 2021 Dow Sustainability Fellows team, in conjunction with the GLBRA and Delta College, worked with seven initial Pledge partner organizations to develop and pilot a self-evaluation and sustainability roadmap customized to each partner’s unique needs and grounded in UN SDGs. The team also compiled a database of 100+ open-access sustainability resources for use by the pilot organizations and others. The scalable, transferrable process developed by the Dow Fellows team will be used by the GLBRA to expand the Sustainability Pledge program.
