The Atlantic Chapter ExCom held its quarterly in-person meeting in Trumansburg, New York, in June. Both it and the Steering Committee held subsequent meetings by telephone conference call. Administrative matters addressed included the Chapter's continuing financial strain, the development of the Chapter website, and the election for at-large members of the ExCom.

The ExCom also considered the status of the hydrofracking issue and the legislative prospects in Albany and Washington. The Chapter completed the approval process for several political endorsements, and moved ahead with the hiring of a new conservation assistant to improve the staffing in the Albany office.
