Coffee & Climate Chat with NYC Climate Policy Leader.

Exclusive coffee and climate chat with Xavier parent Jennifer Leone P'26, Assistant Commissioner & Chief Sustainability Officer for NYC Department of Housing preservation & Development (HPD). HPD, the largest municipal developer of affordable housing in the United States, works with private
and non-profit developers to build and preserve over 20,000 units of climate-forward affordable housing each year in New York City.

As HPD's Chief Sustainability Officer, Ms. Leone leads climate policy and develops strict climate standards for the city's affordable housing stock, and is responsible for over $200 million in solar and other climate programs. She holds degrees in architecture and sustainability from City College, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania.

This is your chance for a one-on-one opportunity to get insights into NYC's climate policy infrastructure or to learn about interesting climate-oriented career pathways, particularly those in the building or government sectors - and get insights into how to create a path toward a climate focused career of your own.

Note, there is a possibility that the winner could join a building tour or other related climate event, if timing and permissions allow.
