Abstract

Introduction & Background: The Climate Change Advisory Committee has one vacancy.

                     

Discussion & Analysis: The Climate Change Advisory Committee reviewed applications and put forth Vickie Atkinson as their recommendation for appointment.

And, as an attendee, her contributions have already been substantial and "on the mark."
