Speaker: Sarah Coulter 

As Calumet Collaborative’s executive director, Sarah has led the evolution of the Millennium Reserve partnership into the present-day Calumet Collaborative, engaging multiple stakeholders and setting a course to capitalize on the region’s assets and remove barriers through collective action.

Sarah has more than 12 years of experience in economic development and community building through sustainable practices and principles including three years as the south suburban Village of Park Forest’s sustainability coordinator. She led Park Forest’s effort to become the second STAR Communities Certified community in Illinois and 30th (and smallest) certified community in the US and Canada.

Sarah is a LEED AP and has a background in green real estate. She played a key role in bringing changes to Chicagoland’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and on the City of Chicago’s Energy Disclosure Ordinance that connects energy usage data with the home buying consumer. Sarah served as the Residential Green Building Committee Advocate for the US Green Building Council Illinois Chapter and on the State and Local Government Committee.

She is a graduate of The Evergreen State College and has a number of additional green real estate designations and additional coursework in sustainable design.

What she brings to the table in experience, she surpasses tenfold in her passion for the economy, community, environment, and finding sustainable solutions to reduce the impacts of the changing climate. Outside of work she loves exploring trails with her dog Dolomite, attending music festivals, and practicing yoga.
