Hosted by the Environmental Finance Center and Missouri Public Utility Alliance.

Our very own Tonya Bronleewe moderated an insightful panel on "Building Resilient Energy and Water Systems" at last week's ARISE Symposium. This event aimed to bring together leaders and learners from across Kansas to enhance community resilience.

During the event, Tonya facilitated a dynamic discussion with:

- Julie Lorenz, Consultant with Burns & McDonnell and Former Kansas Secretary of Transportation
- Andrew Ferris, CFO of Kansas City BPU
- Michele Silsbee, Deputy City Manager of Osawatomie, KS

ARISE, which stands for "Adaptive and Resilient Infrastructure driven by Social Equity," is a novel project designed to help Kansans recover more quickly and experience less impact from large-scale disasters.
