"When I joined The Climate Trust board in 2007 it was a work related assignment that I assumed would end after my 4-year term. Instead, my Board service has evolved into a very personal commitment as I have developed relationships with The Trust’s passionate team members and developed a desire to see The Trust achieve its important mission."
