Join this interactive workshop as Tom Benthin, graphic illustrator, brings your ideas to life in a visual depiction of the responsible seafood landscape. Together, we will identify where groups are working, where alignment is needed, what gaps exist, and where the Alliance is best positioned to serve.

Tom Benthin
Graphic Facilitator
Tom is a graphic facilitator with over twenty years of experience working with clients across a wide variety of sectors. Working in real-time, he visually maps groups’ conversations, reflecting them back to deepen participants’ understanding and enhance their ability to think about the problems and opportunities they’re grappling with. When clients want to carry their thinking forward to engage others, he also works with them to refine their ideas and shape them into a narrative, told visually through a drawing or short film. Tom had an eclectic career before turning to graphic facilitation in the mid-1990s, studying French Intensive/Biodynamic horticulture with Alan Chadwick, ballet with Richard Gibson, and managing restaurants for Jeremiah Tower and Joyce Goldstein.
