Dawn Comfort is a software developer by trade. She combines her technical know-how with her passion for the environment to educate and inspire her fellow community members and advocate for sustainable change. As an environmental leader in her faith community, Dawn came to understand that individual change is not enough and we need our organizations, businesses and communities to embrace sustainable change.
