Monthly board meeting preceding Club Meeting.

I’m happy to invite you to this Tuesday’s meeting for an enlightening session focused on important environmental efforts in Phuket. We have two extraordinary speakers lined up who will share compelling stories, innovative solutions, and a vision for making a lasting impact.

Guest Speaker 1: Michelle Mouille, Founder of the Sustainable MaiKhao Foundation

Michelle will walk us through the inspiring journey of the Foundation, its impactful past initiatives, and exciting plans for the future. Her work to combat marine debris has been a game-changer for Phuket’s marine environment. You’ll also learn about upcoming efforts to scale the Foundation’s reach and good work.

Guest Speaker 2: Todd Miller, Best-Selling Author of “Enrich:Create wealth in Time, Money, and Meaning””

Todd, an acclaimed author recognized by CNBC, Forbes, and USA Today, has been a steadfast supporter of the Sustainable MaiKhao Foundation for over five years.

He will share his incredible experience preparing for a 6,000 km transcontinental bike ride across Europe. This landmark event celebrates the Foundation’s 5th anniversary and aims to raise both awareness and funds to sustain their vital mission.

This is your opportunity to engage with two inspiring leaders making a real difference to Phuket’s marine environment. Learn how their passion and initiatives align with global sustainability goals, and discover ways we can all contribute to this noble cause.
