As environmental challenges intensify, the Environmental Professionals Network (EPN) kicks off its 13th year with fresh leadership and a renewed sense of purpose.
Led by new program director Harrison Fried and new program assistant Hallie Stelzle, EPN continues to unite professionals across Ohio to address pressing issues like water crises and climate resilience, while promoting personal well-being and professional growth through dynamic events.
Fried is a proud alumnus of the School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR) within The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). With a vision that fuses community-building with cutting-edge sustainability programming, Fried is poised to usher in an era of growth for the network.
“I’m thrilled to join EPN at such a pivotal moment,” Fried said. “For over a decade, this network has been a place where ideas spark, partnerships bloom, and solutions are born. My goal is to build on that foundation by expanding our reach — especially online — so environmental professionals and students across Ohio can connect more easily and impactfully.” Discover EPN's renewed sense of purpose and commitment to uniting professionals >>
