Our guest speaker: Bena Burda 

 

Bena Burda is the founder of Maggie’s Organics, the first apparel company in the world to be certified for Fair Labor Practices and Community Benefits.  Its mission since the beginning has been to produce and provide comfortable, durable, affordable, and beautiful articles of apparel and accessories made from materials that restore, sustain, and enhance resources, including human, from which they are made.
