I held a student government position in <br /> college at Plattsburgh State University. I have been involved in leadership positions since <br /> elementary school. <br /> I was a charter president for a local Toastmasters group and held other positions within it as <br /> well. I was most recently involved wiwth the preservation and education group called The <br /> Questers and held a state board position with them. <br /> I trained to be a docent at the National Zoo in Washington DC. Sadly,we moved away shortly <br /> after so I had little time to share my new found knowledge. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> My mother taught me very early on to care for and protect our earth. Littering was a mortal sin. <br /> Gardening and houseplants were a way of life. <br /> We are on the cusp of a huge change in energy use much like when we changed from gas <br /> burning lamps to electric lights. The change from gas fueled cars to electric cars is like the <br /> change from horse drawn carriages to automobiles. Our current movement away from burning <br /> fossil fuels to clean energy technologies is going to be important for our health and economy as <br /> well as for our planet. <br />
