February 2024 – Halt the Harm Newsletter (Issue #18)

February 28, 2024/Ryan Clover

📍 The Network is Growing

Let’s give a big welcome to the 186 people have joined Halt the Harm’s private online network in the last month!

You may have seen the introductions coming through. You can catch up and leave comments to welcome people in the 👋 Say Hi area.

This year a new group of leaders have joined the HHN Connector Fellowship, all from major oil & gas states (TX, CO, LA, NY, PA, OK, CA) to make connections and help lead networking efforts.

They co-hosted our last networking session – which was so much fun. Please stay tuned for the next opportunity for Zoom meeting with breakout rooms to build your own network.

Alright, let’s get right to the network updates.
