I would like to run to be on the Atlantic chapter ExCom for another term in hopes of making a contribution to its many environmental causes. Most recently, I located a pro bono attorney to write an Amicus Brief in support of a suit regarding protection of parkland in NYC, and I obtained consent from the Atlantic Chapter for a New Matter Form necessary to receive approval from the Sierra Club to proceed with the legal action. I have served for one two-year term on the Atlantic Chapter ExCom and, I believe, for three two-year terms on the New York City Sierra Club ExCom where served one year as Chair. Currently I am an off-board outreach Chair organizing monthly programs in Queens to complement the ongoing programs provided in Manhattan. Additionally, I have been organizing tabling on Governors Island each summer, and in other locations for the past few years. I continue to participate in the NYC Sierra Club Photography Committee which has separate monthly meetings. I served as chair of this committee for four years before being elected to the NYC Sierra Club ExCom. ThelmaFellows@gmail.com
