How are you currently involved in the Transition?

I have been active in the conservation, environmental, and sustainability movements for more than 30 years. And now am the executive director of RE Sources for Sustainable Communities (www.re-sources.org)

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?

It is becoming clearer and clearer that any significant movement towards transition or a post-fossil fuels existence is going to take place on the local level. The Transition movement is local and I want to do what I can to facilitate movement via this organization and others.

Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?

I have a lot of skills both in terms of process and knowledge. I also head an organization whose assets could be strategically used to forward some of the goals of Transition Whatcom. I am a big believer in partnerships, cooperation, and making efficient use of existing resources.

In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?

Fairhaven
