In August 2017, WMG's Executive Director Lisa Shipek was selected as one of 15 participants in Social Venture Partner’s (SVP) Fast Pitch program. After a competitive grant round, she was chosen to pitch the River Run Network based on WMG's passion for improving the community and our innovative solutions to society’s most difficult challenges. In the three years SVP has been running the program, WMG is the first “environmental” organization selected.
At the Nov. 9 event, Lisa and WMG's River Run Network earned the SVP Tucson Award, with a prize of $10K!
