I have been engaged with the NESEA Community as a member and supporter of the organization for more than 15 years. I have attended the Building Energy Boston Conference for more that ten years and I have served on the Board of Directors for NESEA for 2 years. As a Board member I currently chair the Development Committee and serve on the Nominating Committee for NESEA. I am pleased and excited by the opportunity to make a positive difference in the organization and assist in leading the organization.

I am driven by the desire to provide leadership wtthin NESEA as it seeks to create a more sustainable and resilient future for New England and the Northeastern states. I am also motivated by the desire to increase the cultural diverstiy of the environmental sustainabilitiy and green building movement and organizations in the Northeast as well as nationally.

I am inspired by the desire to support the education and advocacy work of NESEA through service on the Board as a member of the Nominating Committee. I am also motivated to assist in raising private and public funds for the organization as Chair of the Develpment Committee. Currently I am involved with planning and development of a Planned Giving Campaign for NESEA that will make a substantial contribution to the future of NESEA and its long term growth and survival.
