Speaker

Kristin Corra, Carbon Associates, LLC
Pivoting my commitment from career defense intelligence and foreign policy efforts to global decarbonization, I look to optimize policy, stakeholder engagement, and business development to deploy climate solutions with the most aggressive carbon sinks. To get to mid-century carbon-neutrality, all viable means must be on the table, urgently developed and incorporated at-scale, with social equity its steady compass.

Phil Georgeau, Owner, Chemlink earned a bachelor degree in chemistry from WMU. He went on to found Chem Link, a company based in Schoolcraft that manufactures adhesive, sealant and coating products for the construction industry that employed 104 people at the time Phil and Betty sold it in 2016

Lessons Learned

Understand the urgency of deploying novel technology behind adhesives and sealants used in light-frame wood construction to increase passive house planning and resiliency against violent wind weather events that are forecasted to worsen shortly, with the focus on improving health outcomes.

Analyze the non-toxic and high-performing yet affordable climate adaptation technology and it’s potential impact on the safety of the built environment, particularly during Wind Resistance Construction Events.

Introduce the applicability of this novel product to passive house projects and pre-fab manufacturing, and articulate the potential community welfare gains that could result from its deployment.

Articulate the importance of brainstorming and identifying potential partnerships to enhance the survivability of practitioners’ future projects and to create a safer and more resilient built environment during Wind Resistance Construction Events.
