Sarah Pullman
 Sarah was raised in the suburbs of Alberta, where she was offered precious little opportunity to develop a social or environmental consciousness. Somehow, despite this, the roots of one took hold, and continued to grow (against all odds) during two years spent at the University of Western Ontario. On a gut feeling, she applied to the School of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria, and headed for the west coast, where she has lived and felt at home ever since.
Three years ago she attended her first program at Hollyhock, and fell in love with both the place and its purpose. That introduction led to a position as Operations Coordinator for the Hollyhock Leadership Institute in Vancouver. There she discovered an interest in online tools, and how they can help social change organizations get their work done more gracefully and efficiently.
This is the second year that Sarah has coordinated Web of Change. Her experience with conferences and her interest in the role of technology in social change movements -- combined with her love of Hollyhock and the magic that transpires when people gather together there make her a natural fit for the role. Sarahs personal interests include yoga and meditation, trees, travel, hooping, and hot tubbing. Thankfully, Hollyhock offers a chance to combine them all!
