I'm a 20+ year strategic planner, public policy analyst, and community
organizer focusing primarily on renewable energy and air quality related
issues. I've served as the regional director of a statewide environmental
non-profit, in elected office as an environmental planning deputy, for a
regional air quality agency as a senior public information specialist, and
in the private sector advancing renewable energy projects and programs. I
served as a Green public office holder as a Director of the Resource
Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains from 2001 to 2007 (an LA
County Supervisor-appointed office). I'm currently working with
municipalities on deployment of clean renewable fuel infrastructure for
municipal vehicle fleets. I serve on the Board of Directors of the
Riverside, CA based non-profit Clean Air Now; serve as an appointed member
of the Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Agency's Citizens Advisory
Council where I have established a Sustainable Transportation Subcommittee
for which I serve as Chair; and serve as an appointed member of the San
Francisco Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force. Education: BA, Environmental
Studies

3) Please describe your vision for serving as GPUS Delegate including addressing the job description for GPUS Delegate.

First and foremost I want to do a good job of representing San Francisco and
California at large to the GPUS. I want to help develop a stable,
functional, efficient, responsive and accountable national Party
organization that gets things done; I want to help foster the development of
robust GPs in all fifty states; I want to help reclaim for the GP many of
the issues for which, in many cases, we have been the sole champions, but
for which we do not get credit/recognition. My intention for this term is
to make a renewed commitment to take part in the discussion of proposals
before the GPUS CC, participate in the monthly teleconferences, and attend
delegation meetings at State General Assemblies.
