UMaine Mandela Washington Fellows to attend Bangor Greendrinks

The public is invited to join the University of Maine 2017 Mandela Washington Fellows for an evening with Bangor Greendrinks on July 11.

Starting at 6 p.m., guests can meet the fellows and others who are interested in environmental and sustainability issues at the COESPACE in Bangor. The event is hosted by the law firm Eaton Peabody, and a $5 donation is suggested for entry.

For the second year, 25 young leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa are spending six weeks at UMaine’s Public Management Institute to participate in academic, professional, service and recreational activities statewide. The Bangor Greendrinks gathering is one of several cultural exchange events offered as part of the program.

Bangor Greendrinks offers family-friendly events that focus on growing sustainable local businesses and provide an opportunity to network with professionals from throughout the region.
