• Environmental Professionals Forum
  
  The Environmental Professionals Forum is a network of environmental professionals working across a multitude of fields. The Network was founded in late 2005 in response to the need for environmental professionals working across all disciplines to share experiences, learn from each other and have a sounding board for ideas. Founding members include Tom Davies, Hudson Worsley and Amy Foxe who studied the Master of Environmental Management degree at the Institute of Environmental Studies, UNSW under Professor Ronnie Harding. The environmental profession is young, and works with a fast developing agenda where there are few precedents. The EPF network offers the environmental professional an opportunity to consult the collective brain of the profession, and to hear from environmental professionals shaping the agenda. The Forum meets approximately once a quarter and attracts high profile speakers at the forefront of their respective fields. The meetings are held after business hours, usually in a central location, hosted by willing organizations who provide some fuel for debate, by way of food and drink and a suitable venue. In addition to quarterly forums, the EPF forwards environmental jobs and events to the database of professionals.

  The network is informal, and runs on goodwill and professionalism. The current organizing committee is comprised of Tom Davies, Hudson Worsley, Sally Asker and Kate Panayatou.

  The next event is currently being scheduled for late March, and to be included in the email listing send a request to join the mailing list to environmentalprofessionals@gmail.com We are extremely privileged to be part of a profession contributing towards better environmental outcomes and developing sustainable societies.
