Dory Trimble, Executive Director Honnold Foundation

NEXT GUEST:  Dory Trimble, Executive Director of the Honnold Foundation

WHEN: 7 pm TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8TH

WHERE: University Center Theater at Western Colorado University, Gunnison, CO

When world-renowned climber, Alex Honnold, was looking for a new executive director for his Honnold Foundation, he tapped Dory Trimble. And with the massive success of the film, Free Solo, Dory has guided what began as Alex’s small, personal passion project into a rapidly growing nonprofit working on global projects.

The aim of the Honnold Foundation is to reduce environmental impact and address inequality by supporting solar energy initiatives worldwide.

Come listen to Dory Trimble explain how small deliberate steps can help us achieve audacious goals.

WHAT ELSE?

Each month during the school year, BLISTER founder, Jonathan Ellsworth, will lead a free, open-to-the-public Q&A at Western, and there will be additional opportunities for Western students to engage with our speakers in classroom settings, informal group meetings, or out on the trail or ski hill.
Please stay tuned for updates on our upcoming events.
