Impact Explorers

This event is all about inspiration! We will be joined by 5 very different and very inspiring people who in different ways are looking to change the way we do things while having a positive impact on the world we live in. There will also be time to network and we will finish with a Q&A panel discussion with your questions answered.

Sarah Merrick, CEO and Founder of Ripple Energy, (www.rippleenergy.com).
Sarah founded Ripple Energy in 2017 because she wanted to make green energy ownership affordable for households nationwide - it should not be a luxury. Ripple Energy call themselves trail-blazers & future shapers! They are not an energy supplier; they partner with them. They are not a wind farm developer; they work with them. They are the people that bring everything together. You are the one who's changing the future.
