Leading Upstream: A Panel Discussion on Legacy & Vision

Join us for a special conversation (and cake!) with all three executive directors who helped shape UpstreamPgh’s work across its first 25 years: Marijke Hecht, Brenda Smith, and Mike Hiller. Moderated by Danielle Crumrine, Executive Director of Tree Pittsburgh, this lively panel will explore the organization’s origins, pivotal moments, lessons learned, and the evolving vision that continues to guide our work today. We’re offering both in person and virtual attendance via Zoom and Instagram Live for this event, making it easy for our community near and far to join the conversation and Q&A. In-person space is limited- please RSVP early!

Come reflect, celebrate, and look ahead with the people who helped lead UpstreamPgh from its headwaters to its future.
