She is speaking in 2405 Nelson Hall, 2801 Founders Drive on the NC State University main campus in Raleigh, N.C. A reception follows the talk.

“I think our faculty, students, and staff as well as members of the Triangle business community will enjoy learning about how technology and innovation are driving Lockheed Martin’s sustainability initiative,” said Jessica Thomas, director of Poole College's Sustainability Initiative.

The Sustainability Initiative Industry Speaker Series provides an opportunity for students, faculty, and the public to engage in an open dialogue with business executives, sustainability officers, innovators and thought leaders about pressing global sustainable business practices. The series is presented in partnership with the NC State Net Impact Chapter. This presentation is being co-hosted with NC State's College of Engineering.

Poole College’s Sustainability Initiative launched this industry speaker series in October 2013 to advance sustainability as a set of decision challenges balancing financial, social and environmental returns.
