DESCRIPTION:A Changing Climate brings Business\n\nOpportunities and Risks to Manage\n\nIn the past few years businesses in Loudoun experienced blizzards\, a derecho\, and droughts.

The material is designed to be approachable and straightforward no degree in meteorology or actuarial science required!\n\nPresenter: \n\nAndrea McGimsey is Executive Director of Oatlands Historic House and Gardens.  As the executive for a 200 year-old property that features unique gardens and once in a lifetime events like weddings\, Andrea deals with the business challenges associated with weather and climate on a daily basis.
