My journey leading
to an MBA in Managing for Sustainability began with my Mother, Cintra Badenhausen, a woman dedicated to teaching her children and others about the outdoors and canoeing. An avid Girl Scout leader , she instilled in us the wonder and joy of camping in winter, gliding across a lake and, for me, the special feeling of friendships with horses. I remained close to Nature through environmental volunteerism and Master Gardener training in rural Idaho. My journey next lead me to a position with an umbrella organization which supported environmental non-profits in my native NY, and from there to a position supporting naturalists in a conservation division of the county Parks Department. Here I led the creation of a conference series entitled "Conversations on Conservation"in 2003 which successfully created collaboration of resources between e-non-profits, and which is still presenting conservation education programs to the community.
In 2006 I started Blue Sky Design, which has now morphed into Blue Sky Environmental Strategies, a consulting firm which specializes what I call "Community Marketing". I make sustainable connections between businesses and non-profits to support social responsibiity, specializing in support of environmental non-profits. My clients are diverse in market but united by the desire to do good while doing well.
The MBA program I am enrolled in is at The Graduate Center at Marlboro College, in Brattleboro VT. Our cohort, the first of the program, is quite an ecclectic bunch. We include a Budhist Monk Bartender, a Statistician, an employee of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant, and the Sustainability Coordinator of UTC. Our personal and professional histories offer an comprehensive amount of experience in personal and professional social responsibility, and in business practices. The faculty is dedicated and innovative. The staff is professional and imaginative in creating a supportive space for us to excel. I'm looking forward to where this chapter of my life will lead.
