Tamika Lamison comments:

"As someone who is personally and professionally committed to Social Justice and working in spaces that are actively participating in creating stories that inspire impact and change through the CDDP and other organizations, I am happy to support Green The Bid in their efforts for climate Justice. We have so much work to do in so many places. And there is a correlation between Climate Justice and Social Justice. It is important that we acknowledge this intersectionality and I look forward to being a part of Green the Bid's efforts to fight climate change by leaving less of a carbon footprint in the world of commercial production."

Fiona King says:

“The need for sustainable practice in our industry has long been recognized and with the coronavirus pandemic, alternatives in the way we streamline the production process have been recognized, a catalyst if you like to reevaluate sustainable behavior, a broader conversation for every industry. Green The Bid both supports and echoes Sweetshop’s global initiatives and I’m honored to be on the board and looking forward to growing knowledge in this space among a team of specialists and industry professionals."

Becky Morrison relates:

“Ever wonder who created the production process? Moguls with mustaches who ran Hollywood before movies had sound. The problem is: the process they designed is highly extractive. It depletes people and natural resources. But it doesn’t have to be that way! That's why The Light & Green the Bid are focusing on the intersectionality of social and environmental justice. We're creating a whole new production model for the 21st century.”

According to Doug Zanger:

“Most people see our finished work, without thinking about the resources used. There have been some sincere efforts for brands, agencies and production companies to reduce the impact, yet we need a unified force to make sustainability a constant instead of a “nice to have.” What would be “nice to have” is a planet that begins to heal, and we’ll work hard to do our part.”

The new members join the following individuals to make up a board that provides expert guidance in building an inclusive, productive, and forward-thinking organization with key global alliances for ultimate effectiveness:
